Wang Dazhui was suddenly awakened from his contemplation by Li Shimin's voice, and a glimmer of golden light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he had a very clear answer in his heart.

He believed that if he followed his own answers, he would definitely be able to catch the guy who couldn't get along with him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Dazhui said with sincere gratitude.

Seeing Wang Dazhui's reaction, Li Shimin nodded, and then smiled with satisfaction. "No need to thank me, you came up with it yourself, and I didn't help you much!"

"Your Majesty, I came to the palace to find you today, can you borrow me a talent who is good at finding intelligence?" Wang Dazhui directly stated the purpose of his trip.

"That's no problem, I've got you ready!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

I saw Li Shimin give Guo Ren a look, Guo Ren immediately went out, and in a blink of an eye, he came in with a young man.

"Tiance Mansion Li Yao greets Your Majesty!" The man saluted Li Shimin.

As soon as he heard the words "Tiance Mansion", Wang Dazhui's head buzzed, and information about Tiance Mansion poured into his mind.

Tiance Mansion is the mansion built in Luoyang after Li Shimin, the king of Qin, defeated Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's allied army in the fourth year of Tang Gaozu Wude (621 AD), and was named the general of Tiance, and it is also one of the landmark events of Li Shimin's future emperor.

The Tiance Mansion is the first of the military attachés' mansions, above the Fourteen Wei Mansions; Admiral Tiance held positions above the prince and the three dukes, second only to the nominal civil officials of the first three divisions (i.e., Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao). Admiral Tiance can recruit talents on his own to serve as officials in the Tiance government, that is, the so-called "Xu Zizhi official subordinates".

In the fourth year of Wude (621 AD), Li Shimin, as the governor of the right leading army, led the army to capture Luoyang and defeated the combined army of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

Li Shimin's reputation was greatly enhanced because of his outstanding military exploits, and Tang Gaozu ordered him to control the civil and military power in the Eastern Plain, named Li Shimin the general of Tiance, and allowed him to open a mansion in Luoyang, Tiance Mansion. The ambitious Li Shimin immediately formed a retinue of about fifty people, many of whom were prominent figures from the enemy camps he had eliminated.

After reading these, I believe everyone can understand why Wang Dazhui was so shocked when he heard the words "Tiance Mansion".

Wang Dazhui looked at Li Yao, who claimed to be from Tiance Mansion in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Not to mention anything else, with the gold-lettered signboard of "Tiance Mansion", Wang Dazhui also believes that his ability is definitely not bad.

"Li Yao, I will introduce to you, this is a Wang Xian man, you will stay by his side in the future and help him well for me." Li Shimin said after Li Yaoqi finished the salute.

"Li Yao has seen Wang Xiannan!" Hearing Li Shimin's introduction, Li Yao glanced at Wang Dazhui and greeted him with a smile.

"I've seen Master Li!" Wang Dazhui didn't know the other party's official position, so he had to call the other party Lord Li very generally.

"The Wang County man is polite, Li Yao can't afford to be an adult in front of the Wang County man, and I will ask the Wang County man to take care of him in the future!" Li Yao seems to know Wang Dazhui quite well, and he attaches great importance to it, and he does not despise him because he is a child.

"Okay, what you want to call it in the future is your own business, I still have a lot of things to deal with here, so let's do it quickly!" Li Shimin interrupted their conversation and sent them away.

"Retire!" Li Yaodao.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll take Master Li back, you continue to be busy!" Wang Dazhui bowed to Li Shimin and expressed his gratitude.

After Wang Dazhui and Li Yao left, Li Shimin did not immediately go to deal with official business as he just said.

"Guo Ren, how did you investigate the matter last time I asked you to send someone to investigate?" Li Shimin looked up at Guo Ren.

Guo Ren's face changed, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have only found a little clue at present, and according to the feedback from the people below, it is said that it has a certain relationship with Kyushu Commercial Bank, the largest commercial bank in Chang'an." ”

"Kyushu Comptoir? Check, you must check carefully for me to see who is behind this Kyushu commercial house? Not only did he assassinate my courtiers, but now he is also blatantly using the common people to suppress his opponents. Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said viciously, it seemed that in his heart he had set the Kyushu Commercial Bank as a target that must be eradicated.
