Datang romantic little landlord

Li Er nodded: "Yes! Wang Xizhong, where is Hu Shang now?"

Wang Xizhong hesitated for a moment, but replied honestly: "Your Majesty, you should be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Immediately order someone to send that Hu merchant to the Tai Chi Hall, I want to ask the case myself!"

"Promise." Naturally, Wang Xizhong didn't dare to say no, so he could only nod in response, and turned around to deliver the order.

At this time, the time of the usual court has passed, but none of the officials in the Taiji Hall is in a hurry.It's rare to see such excitement today, and how could this group of top "gossip people" in the Tang Dynasty be willing to miss the follow-up exciting episodes.

Many people have guessed some of the inside story, and looked at Wang Xizhong, Zheng Yuanshou, Wang Renyou and others with playfulness.

If today's events are not tricky, but just what bad people and handsome people did, that would really humiliate the IQ of all officials.

Not to mention whether bad people have the guts to frame Li Wangyou, the founding county magistrate, but that almost flawless "secret letter" is not something bad handsome can make.

From the point of view of many officials, today's incident may be in trouble for the family, at least the servant of the Ministry of punishment will never escape.

As long as the bad guy goes to the palace to confront him, things will naturally come to light.

Even if the fire doesn't reach the patriarchs of the aristocratic families like Wang Renyou and Zheng Yuanshou, it's hard to say what will happen to Wang Xizhong, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

As a fourth-rank boss of the Taiyuan Wang family in the court, if the ship capsizes like this, then the Taiyuan Wang family will really suffer a heavy loss.

Officials from aristocratic families, at this time, many people also looked worried, and obviously felt that today's events might cause another big fall for their aristocratic families.

While everyone was waiting for the messenger to pass on, Li Jing asked Li Wangyou again: "Uncle Huxian, what you said just now is that the previous method is not suitable for delivering secret letters. Why? Uncle Huxian has other methods. method?"

Hearing Li Jing mention this matter again, it attracted the attention of Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and others, and they all turned their heads to look at Li Wangyou.

Li Wangyou nodded: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei, the two methods just now may not be known by no one, and they are not safe. At least I have seen monks using this method to cheat when I was in Hu County, so I don't want to Not suitable for delivering messages in the military."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Then tell me, is there any other way to deliver the secret letter?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Hey, the method is also very simple, how about if Ruochen demonstrates it to His Majesty and the princes?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed, and patted Li Wangyou on the shoulder: "Wow, hahaha, I know you have a lot of tricks, try it quickly, I want to see if you can hide your secret letter from me s eyes."

"Hey, Uncle Cheng, if you can guess this kind of secret letter, my nephew is willing to lose the part of the Dazhao fight to you, is Uncle Cheng willing to make a bet with my nephew?"

As soon as Li Wangyou finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin slapped him hard on the back of the head: "You bastard, did you trick me into this? What are you betting on? Straight mother thief, pretend that I don't know, and you only have to bet against me." Do you lose? Hurry up and write a secret letter, if the effect is not good, believe it or not, I will beat you?"

Facing this unreasonable old man, Li Wangyou wanted to cry, but who was this meow?

Li Wangyou called Mi Tuo, and whispered something in his ear again, Mi Tuo nodded again and again to show that he understood.

After Mi Tuo went to the side hall again, Cheng Yaojin pulled Li Wangyou over: "You write in the secret letter, 'On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, open the Mingde Gate, raise the fire as a sign, and leave three thousand Jinwu guards. He entered the city when he was a scholar.', do you understand?"

Li Wangyou nodded, he knew that Cheng Yaojin wanted to test whether his secret letter could convey military information.

Returning to the side hall, it didn't take long for a secret letter to be sent out.

This time it is no longer a wordless book, but densely packed with various numbers on the paper.

Cheng Yaojin snatched the "secret letter" and examined it carefully. Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others also came over.

"Straight mother thief, what kind of nonsense is written here? 37, five, fourteen... what do these numbers mean?" Cheng Yaojin looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand why, and looked at Li Jing and the others in doubt.

All the dignitaries shook their heads, and no one understood what it meant.

Li Er also took the "secret letter" and read it for a long time, but he also didn't have any clue.

"Ziyou, you believe this, but you have to use those two methods?" Li Er asked.

Li Wangyou shook his head again and again: "No, Your Majesty, gentlemen, the content of the secret letter is written directly on this paper, which is what you see. If you don't believe it, Your Majesty does not need to hand over this letter to the Governor of Mi. , directly through the palace gate, just read it to him."

"Is there such a thing? I don't believe it. These inexplicable numbers are the words I just told you? Give me the letter, and I'll read it to Mi Tuo." Cheng Yaojin wanted to pass the secret letter, Walk to the front of the side hall, and read those numbers aloud to Mi Tuo inside.

After he finished reading, Mi Tuo opened the door of the hall and walked out, and said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile: "Grand Duke Lu, this secret letter of yours almost scared someone. The content of the secret letter is 'On the [-]rd of the first month, open it At Mingdemen, hold the fire as a sign, and the left Jinwuwei will enter the city when three thousand Jiashi are here.', is that right?"

When Cheng Yaojin heard the words, he looked like he had seen a ghost again: "How is this possible? Mi Tuo, why did you know? Could it be that those damn numbers just now were really the contents of the secret letter?"

Mi Tuo smiled and nodded: "Lu Guogong, that's right, that's the case."

Li Er stretched out his hand and called Mi Tuo to his side, asking about the secret of the secret letter.Mi Tuo naturally knew everything, and honestly explained the method of cracking the secret letter, which made Li Er raise his eyebrows.

"Is it really that simple?"

"Yes, everyone, that's the case. If Huxian Bo doesn't explain it thoroughly, I'm afraid I won't be able to think of this matter."

Li Er got up: "I will try it myself."

Li Er followed Mi Tuo into the side hall, not long after, Mi Tuo came out with another piece of paper and handed it to Li Wangyou.

"Uncle Huxian, Your Majesty ordered you to decipher this secret letter."

Li Wangyou nodded with a smile, took the secret letter and returned to the side hall, when he appeared again, Li Wangyou first bowed to Li Er: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"Haha, sure enough, this secret letter is very interesting. Yes, Ziyou, I am very satisfied." Li Er laughed loudly when he heard this.The secret letter he wrote to Li Wangyou just now, deciphered, is a sentence, "I reward you with a thousand taels of gold"...

668 People Don’t Harm the Tiger’s Mind, But the Tiger Harms People’s Mind

In fact, the secret letter that Li Wangyou made up is worthless to put it bluntly.

That was a set of passwords that couldn't be simpler.

He and Mi Tuo agreed to use a certain book as the code book, and the numbers on the paper represent the number of pages, lines, and the number of words in the book.When deciphering, according to the order of numbers, find out the words from the agreed book and rehearse and combine them together.

This can be said to be the most basic password, but the confidentiality is also extremely strong.Because if you don't know which book the two parties agreed on, even if you know the tricks, it will be useless, and you won't be able to decipher the content of the code.

It is such a simple password, but in the eyes of Li Er, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing and others, it is a great "invention".

This is quite normal. In the history of China, the first set of real military communication code tables appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty hundreds of years later.

Even the military ciphers that appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty are much simpler and rougher than Li Wangyou's set of ciphers.

In the military codes of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were only forty phrases commonly used in the army, and these forty phrases were numbered in turn.

Then agree on a five-character poem as the decoding key.

When you need to use secret letters, you write this poem, and you need to express the number of code words, and put a seal on the first word in the poem as a mark.

Hundreds of years later, the military codes of the Northern Song Dynasty were all so rough. In comparison, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who did not have the concept of military codes, after seeing Li Wangyou's code system, how could they not be shocked.

After Li Jing figured out the meaning of these numbers, he couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly: "Okay, okay! Your Majesty, Huxian Bodang has done a great job! This way of handling secret letters has never been heard of in this way. Come on, don’t worry about leaking news during the war, or being falsified by the enemy! Well, it’s really good!”

Li Wangyou was a little embarrassed by the praise, rubbed his nose with a sneer, and continued in a low voice: "Your Majesty, according to this method, you can also make a special codebook. That is to summarize the commonly used Chinese characters, each Words are represented by a number, and these numbers may not be related in any way. In this way, unless someone has the same codebook, anyone who sees these numbers will be at a loss, and it is impossible to decipher the content."

Hearing his words, the eyes of Li Er, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others became brighter.
