The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 123 Password Transmission

Who doesn't know about the imperial power and the power struggle among the ministers?Although Qian Shuoyou is not high enough to be regarded as a local official, but he is a local official at the foot of the emperor. Naturally, he is very aware of these power struggles. What's more, Qian Shuoyou has a close personal relationship with Liao Yingzhong. Chinese news made him know a lot about the imperial court.

The potential talker lowered his head and murmured in his heart, "Could it be that the emperor has included me in Jia Sidao's party?"

I said softly, "Qian Aiqing, do things well, for the people of the world, and for my Great Song Dynasty."

The potential talker suddenly remembered all kinds of rumors from the outside world that the current emperor is the destiny of the real dragon emperor.I have read a lot of poetry and books, and I am full of economics, so I am dubious about the rumors outside, and even the emperor's instructions in the Gongyuan may be written by others, but when I heard the emperor's sustainable development speech just now, I couldn't help it tribute.

Potential friends who are proud of their talents feel that in this era, apart from the emperor, they have never heard of another person with such outstanding and long-term insights. No wonder a minister in the court once said that your majesty is a god-man.

Thinking of this in his mind, Qian Shuoyou hurriedly got up, then fell to his knees with a plop and said: "The emperor's will, I will keep every sentence in my heart, and I will definitely live up to the emperor's love and fight for the rejuvenation of our court."

"Aiqing, flat body." I smiled, "I said this is the imperial study, so there is no need to be formal."

Wen Tianxiang on the side also said: "Lord Qian, you don't need to be too cautious when discussing matters in the emperor's imperial study, just get used to it gradually in the future."

Wen Tianxiang was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that it seemed to be a hint to his potential friends, "In the future..." Doesn't that mean that I will often go to the emperor's imperial study in the future?

The potential friends who are well versed in the way of officialdom are mixed with worries and joys in their hearts. They are happy that the emperor seems to be recruiting themselves, but they are worried that Jia Sidao is not a kind person. Among them, once you stand on the wrong team, it is no joke.

The potential talker stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, back off."

As soon as Qian Shuoyou walked away, Xiao Qi followed and said, "Officials, Mr. Lu is here."

After entering the room, Lu Xiufu handed me a memorial and said, "Your Majesty, this is the reorganization plan of the navy that Li Beiyang, the Commander of the Navy, has asked his ministers to forward to His Majesty."

"Li Beiyang?" I remembered that it had been a month since I inspected the navy, "Junshi, why did you hand over Li Beiyang's plan directly?"

According to the etiquette system of the Great Song Dynasty, under normal circumstances, the memorials of officials outside the court meeting need to be handed over to the Ministry of Zhongshu or the Privy Council first, and then to the imperial palace. to the emperor for approval.

Lu Xiufu reported: "Your Majesty, I have deliberately made friends with Li Beiyang recently, and was introduced by Le Zhishan (a disciple of Li Beiyang) who was a naval officer in the Yangzhou frontier army. The minister and Li Beiyang began to communicate frequently, and gradually became chatty. Talk. Li Beiyang is very dissatisfied with Jia Sidao, and also looks down on the forbidden army and frontier army of our dynasty. Except for the Yangzhou frontier army, he thinks that the current army is not the enemy of the Mongolian iron cavalry at all. Only our Great Song Navy is invincible in the world. However, the navy was not valued by the imperial court. Because Jia Sidao’s party did not want to go along with it, it was indifferent to the development of the navy. Later, it attracted Li Zengbo’s coastal navy, so that most of the navy’s only funds were allocated to the coastal areas in recent years. The navy, the equipment of the navy in front of the temple lags behind the coastal navy, which of course aroused the conflict between Li Beiyang and Jia Sidao, but Li Beiyang was completely powerless to fight against Jia Sidao, and gradually became decadent."

Lu Xiufu took a sip of tea and continued: "Since His Majesty inspected the Navy, Li Beiyang has sprouted a glimmer of hope, hoping to make contributions in his lifetime, surpassing the achievements made by his ancestor Li Bao. This memorial is Li Beiyang's nearly He wrote it in a month, but he didn’t want people in the Privy Council to see it, so he entrusted his ministers to pass it on, and he made another memorial with Li Zengbo, which has been handed over to the Privy Council for the emperor’s envoy.”

I smiled, opened the memorial, and said, "This Li Beiyang's calligraphy is really good. He is bold and unrestrained without losing his lightness, and he has everyone's demeanor."

Lu Xiufu also laughed: "Your Majesty, this is not Li Beiyang's handwriting, his words are really like a dog crawling."

"Really?" I asked in surprise, "There are still such talented scholars under Li Beiyang?"

"Your Majesty, this is Ouyang Jianqing's handwriting. After Ouyang Jianqing entered the palace, he was diligent and studious. I don't know why he was valued by Li Beiyang and accepted as a closed disciple. This memorial was dictated by Li Beiyang and Ouyang Jianqing wrote it. written."

"No wonder, Ouyang Jianqing is both civil and military. If he can inherit Li Beiyang's mantle, it will be a happy event. This memorial will be placed here first, and I will review it carefully tonight."

Lu Xiufu continued: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter? Just tell me."

"After further contact with Ouyang Jianqing, I feel that I can let him join Longya."

I thought for a while and said, "If Ouyang Jianqing is willing, of course you can. This is also a good thing. Junshi, you can decide for yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Junshi, you need to send someone to familiarize yourself with the carrier pigeon sent by Ling'er as soon as possible. With the carrier pigeon, the transmission speed to the Longya Intelligence Department will be greatly accelerated."

Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, using carrier pigeons to send messages can indeed speed up the speed, but it is restricted by confidentiality, so it is difficult to convey some important news."

"Your Majesty, what Master Wen said is very true. Carrier pigeons cannot be used to convey important information."

"Song Rui, Junshi, you can rest assured about this, I have already thought about it, just use the password to send the message."

"Password transmission?" The two thought to themselves, it must be a new thing.

Cryptography is a technique used to obfuscate, which hopes to transform normal (recognizable) information into unrecognizable information, and this unrecognizable information can be restored into recognizable information through reprocessing.

As early as 405 BC, the Athenians used the simplest code to send messages during the Peloponnesian War with Sparta.

I randomly picked up two identical books on the table, handed one of them to Lu Xiufu, and said, "Look, these are two identical "Analects of Confucius". Take one, and I will take it too." One."

Then, I took out another piece of paper, wrote three numbers with a hard pen, 358, and said: "Look, this is the three Xie numbers of 358, the first number is 3, open the third page, the second The first number is 5, find the fifth row on this page, and the third number is 8, look at the fifth row and eighth row on this page, what is the word on it?"

"Yeah, it's about those who are also."

I also flipped through the "Analects" in my hand and said: "By the way, this is the word Ye. I use this word as the first word of information, and so on. Can I use a series of numbers to replace a certain word?" In a word, this is the simplest password. For those who don’t know it, they will only recognize that it is a string of several numbers.”

Both of them are intelligent people, so they can understand each other naturally.

"I see."

"Of course, there can be many changes. For example, when contacting A, the first number represents the number of pages, and when contacting B, the last digit 8 can be changed to represent the number of pages, or for each different contact point , use different books to reduce the impact on other places after an accident occurs in a certain base. Junshi, according to what I just said, after you go back, discuss with the core personnel of your Dragon Tooth Intelligence Department and formulate the rules. .”

"The minister obeys the order."

"Well, back off."
