Chapter 265
Another day of mining was done the next day, and I packed up and returned to Illinois on the third day.

Fortunately, a lot of horses were robbed this time, so all the mined jade was taken away together, and the river has been reled back, and we must wait until everyone returns to organize manpower to mine again.

Yizhou is now completely on the right track, and Situ Changfeng's term of office has also come, so this time he will go back to Chang'an together.

Yizhou is jointly guarded by Zhao Guangren and Niu Xiu. As for the person in charge, he has to wait for a new appointment from the imperial court.

The others were invited by Situ Changfeng, or offered to help, and of course they went home separately.

Firstly, Fan Hong didn't want to go back to Chang'an, and secondly, Situ Changfeng put the wool business in Yizhou under Fan Lihua's name to please him, so he had even more reason not to leave.At the same time, the matter of picking jade will also come from Fanjiazhai.

Situ Changfeng did not force himself on his persistence. With him here, he felt more at ease.

This time back to Beijing, there were only the personal guards of the people, no more than 1000 people, and more than 100 horse-drawn carriages, walking on the way back to Chang'an.

Long before they came back, Chang'an received the news of Yizhou's victory, and the whole Chang'an celebrated for three days.

As for all the families involved in this matter, when they breathed a sigh of relief, they were also commended by Li Shimin.

Although it is impossible to count the specific number of enemies killed in the First Battle of Yizhou, Situ Changfeng made a detailed report, and the worst number was more than 30.

This simply made Li Shimin overjoyed. Such a great victory had not happened for a long time. At least it was his biggest victory since he ascended the throne, not to mention that it was his mortal enemy the Turks.

Overjoyed, before Situ Changfeng returned to Beijing, he had already been conferred the title of Marquis of Yizhou, the founding state, and general of the third rank Zhenxi.

This is not only due to Situ Changfeng's long-standing achievements, but also because Situ Changfeng is an academic school with upright Miaohong roots and has no family encumbrance. At the same time, it is also to show his favor and avoid being wooed by others.

Yizhou's victory shocked the entire Tang Dynasty, as well as the tribes and countries around the Tang Dynasty, and they all settled down.

What surprised Chang'an and Luoyang even more was the letter sent back by the wives of several princes. The letter mentioned that a group of young people familiar to Chang'an had all been promoted to the peak of heaven level and earth level.

Even the ignorant Du He of the Du family has reached the prefecture level, and the honest child of the Fang family has even reached the peak of the prefecture level.

According to an inadvertent slip of the tongue by a housekeeper of a state official's family, all this is because the new Lord Marquis, Situ Changfeng, has an elixir.

All of a sudden, Situ Changfeng, who was originally a celebrity in Chang'an and Luoyang, stirred up waves again.

At the same time, people from the Luo family, Zheng family, and Fang Du family who had exchanged with him all came to inquire about news.Test your tone.

Especially the Zheng family has the best relationship and their status is not too high. Whether they are colleagues or aristocratic families, they all came to the door. On the surface, they congratulated his family for producing a heaven-level military general, Zheng Liwan. For the Zheng family, it was a very unexpected surprise.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Situ Changfeng. He stayed at Luoyang Martial Arts Academy for an hour and then continued his journey to Chang'an to report on his work.

…………

"Haha! Chang'an! Your second master Du is back!" Du He laughed wildly while standing outside the city gate.

"Gah!" Before the laughter fell, it stopped abruptly, and saw an elegant middle-aged man with a gloomy face walking out of the gate of the city, it was his old man Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui is a well-known Confucian scholar. He was originally ordered to announce the decree. How did he know that when he arrived, he heard his son talking nonsense.

"Your Majesty has a decree: Situ Changfeng, governor of Yizhou County, accepts the decree!" Du Ruhui glared at Du He, took a volume of imperial decree from the servant behind him, and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty! Situ Changfeng accepts the order!" Situ Changfeng quickly clasped his fists and bowed, bending down to listen.

"Under the door! Zhiyue: Situ Changfeng, governor of Yizhou County, is loyal to the emperor and patriotic..."

A large section of flowery words praised the people in Yizhou fiercely, and then Situ Changfeng was rewarded. The others were also rewarded generously, but more of them were vain jobs, gold and silver rewards.

Including several dukes and wives, they even bestowed a large number of silks and satins, pearls and gems.

Situ Changfeng thanked Du Ruhui for the decree, and thanked Du Ruhui with a smile: "It's an honor for this junior to thank you!"

"Good! Well done! The achievements you have made make this old man even willing to lead a horse." Du Ruhui was very pleasant to Situ Changfeng.

"That's not dare, isn't it the younger generation's life!" Situ Changfeng said hastily.

"Haha! Let's go! Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace!" Du Ruhui laughed happily seeing Situ Changfeng as humble as before.

"Please wait a moment! This junior will tidy up and enter the palace immediately!" Situ Changfeng said with cupped hands.

After speaking, let the carriages that had been allocated already, five carts go to his own house, fifteen carts went to Zheng's house, and then forty carts for Li Shimin went to the palace.

The rest of the more than a hundred cars were all divided, ten cars per person, no more, no less.

People from each family came to greet them, but Du Ruhui was announcing the decree just now, so they all stood aside. Now they hurried forward, and for a while, the city gate was like a market, bustling with activity.

It wasn't long before everyone came out. They wanted to return home quickly. They didn't mention going home. Even Zhan Wang Ma Zhan, Bai San and the others had already gone back to their hometowns.

"Why...how can one person pull several carts of things back?" Du Ruhui watched in surprise as everyone divided the spoils and each picked their own carriage. Even Du He had someone drive the carriage home.

"Haha! Uncle will know when he gets home!" Situ Changfeng said with a smile when he saw Du He slipping away without telling the truth.

"Okay! Let's go, don't make His Majesty wait too long!" Du Ruhui smiled and said without asking.

The Tai Chi Palace is still a magnificent sight. The hollow gold lacquer throne is located on a three-story high platform, surrounded by several dragon-lacquered gold pillars. At the four corners of the palace stand burly military guards.

The beaded curtain on the left made a slight sound, and four young maids opened the way. They opened the curtain and Li Shimin strode into the palace and sat down on the throne.

Li Shimin waved his hands lightly to let the two saluting people stand up, while Fang Xuanling and others beside him had been waiting for a long time.

"Aiqing has worked hard all the way!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life and didn't let Turk succeed." Situ Changfeng said with a faint smile.

"I heard that Aiqing brought me a gift!" Li Shimin asked with great interest.

"Yes, Xicheng, the Turkic compensation capital, was opened to the Tang Dynasty, so I came back with some special features to present to His Majesty." Situ Changfeng did not elaborate. He believed that Li Shimin should already know, so he dressed mysteriously to match.

"Bring it here!" Li Shimin ordered the guards.

After a while, the guards carried many boxes into the main hall, filling most of the hall.
