Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 419
It is said that a dragon has nine sons, each of which is different, and Gao Cheng did not expect all of his sons to be successful, but the fifth son, Gao Xiaocong, really made him feel helpless.

If you want to say how bad this kid is, it's not entirely true. A child who is only six years old also likes to play tricks and tease people, he is not good at reading, and no matter how bad he is, he can be so bad.

Gao Cheng is definitely not a competent father, especially in the past three years, he went out every year and only returned half a year after he left. He finally returned to Luoyang. He was busy with state affairs and had to ask questions, so he didn't even have time for his older sons. Taking into account, how can I have the leisure to ask Gao Xiaocong.

Since then, he became the hands-off shopkeeper and threw it to his mother Yuan Mingyue to discipline him.

Yuan Mingyue only got such a son at the age of 36, and she usually indulges him, so be stubborn if she thinks it's naughty, it's not because she wants to compete with her elder brothers for the heirloom, and be a wealthy and idle person for the rest of her life in peace, just like his second uncle, full of wives and concubines, There is nothing wrong with children wrapping around their knees.

It's just that this time Gao Xiaocong was not so lucky, he happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, Gao Cheng was already annoyed by Yuan Jiyan's incident, but now seeing Gao Xiaocong playing tricks in front of him, he was even more annoyed.

"This article is written for you, and you must recite it again."

Gao Xiaocong's face turned bitter, and he hesitated but couldn't recite it.

Gao Cheng gave him a hard look, and reprimanded him:
"As a father, I hate being deceived the most in my life. When I was the prince's son, the shogunate once had a assistant named Xing Shao, who was named the Sancai of the North. He was the boss at that time. He also leaned on him, but because of falsehood, I chased him away. Empty and full of talent and learning, but can only be buried in the countryside.

"You are talented, but you don't know how you are a father. What is tested is nothing more than attitude. You are only six years old, and you have already learned to lie and deceive. You have been like this since you were young. How can you do it when you are older!"

After finishing speaking, they called the palace servants to drag Gao Xiaocong down and punish him for twenty sticks. Gao Xiaocong cried out and confessed his mistake, and the four elder brothers also knelt down and pleaded for him, tears pouring down like springs.

"Then accept it all! Come and drag me down, each with twenty sticks."

Gao Cheng seemed to be angry, but at the end he winked at Yun Niang, Yun Niang knew it in her heart: Don't be serious.

The five sons were all dragged out of the hall, Gao Cheng whispered to himself:

"These little bastards are better than me in the past. They cry when they say they want to cry. I had this ability back then, and I wouldn't be beaten by He Liuhun often. I just hope that being punished together this time can make my brothers better." Take it easy."

In fact, without Yunniang's secret entrustment, the executioner didn't dare to really beat him hard. I didn't see that Wei Jing beat Xiao Gao Wang hard, but Gao Huan's old brother who started a business together was the only one who was a county prince.

Even Cai Jun, who had been dead for 14 years, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gao Cheng specially sent people to pay homage to his tomb, and made him a king for Cai Jun, so that he could enjoy Gao Huan's temple.

If a father holds grudges like this, how can a son be any better? He is really ruthless, and he has to think about his children and grandchildren instead of himself. Maybe among these five, there will be the final victor in the future.

Seeing that the four elder brothers were punished for him, Gao Xiaocong was moved, and secretly scolded the father for having no conscience, but he just asked someone to write the article for him, is it really necessary?

After each of them received twenty sticks, they were summoned into the hall by Gao Cheng.

"Zhang'er, Yu'er, Wan'er, and Guan'er, I have six balls of paper in my hand, representing the six departments of Shangshu Province. The four of you go forward to draw lots, and whichever one you catch, you will go to that department to handle practical affairs with Shangshu from tomorrow."

The three of Gao Xiaozhang were overjoyed, knowing that this was the reward for being punished by the stick. This time Gao Cheng ordered them to write an essay titled 'Brothers Fighting Against the Wall, Fend Off Their Husbands'. This time, they begged for Gao Xiaocong and received the punishment , Isn't it just answering the question?

Gao Xiaoguan's face was broken: In the future, he will have no time to practice riding and shooting.

Gao Xiaocong covered his buttocks and leaned in front of Gao Cheng, said with a playful smile:

"Father, where is the child?"

He didn't really want to deal with practical affairs, but he thought that all four brothers could smoke, so how could he be missing himself.

Gao Cheng knocked his little head once, and said angrily:

"We'll wait until you're eight years old."

Gao Xiaocong flattened his mouth and muttered that his father was biased, but Gao Cheng ignored him and spread out his palms for the four sons to take out one by one.

The eldest son Gao Xiaozhang took out a paper ball first, opened it, his face was full of spring, he respectfully handed it to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng took a look, and thought:

'It turned out to be the household department in charge of money and food, no wonder this kid is so excited. '

The six ministries are also divided into good and bad. If you go to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, it is naturally the best choice. If you go to the Ministry of Rites, at least in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites is purely superficial.

You say polite to Gao Cheng, you get tired of hearing it, and you just say: I am a barbarian, I don't know how to be polite.

Gao Cheng glanced at the other three sons, and saw a household name written on the white paper, knowing that the money bag was taken away by the elder brother, Gao Xiaoyu and Gao Xiaowan even hoped that they could be drawn into the official department.

As the second son, Gao Xiaoyu stepped forward to draw lots, he hesitated for a moment, and took the middle one, and then opened it, his face darkened.

Gao Cheng took it and saw that it was the Ministry of Industry.

"When you go to the Ministry of Industry, you must humbly ask Xin Shangshu for advice, and use it as a teacher."

Shangshu ordered Gao Long to resign from the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry early on, and another great talent in science and engineering, Xin Shu who is both civil and military, took the post.

Gao Xiaoyu has already done a good job of mental construction in a short period of time: after all, it is not the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor has always attached great importance to the Ministry of Industry.

Hearing Gao Cheng's urging, Gao Xiaoyu quickly responded and retreated to His Highness.

Gao Cheng then said to His Highness Gao Xiaozhang:
"Although Cui Shangshu from the household department has a bad reputation, he has followed his father for nearly 20 years. He is diligent and conscientious. You should treat him like an uncle and don't take it lightly."

Gao Xiaozhang responded obediently, and he would not really despise Cui Jishu because he once pimped him. Besides, being able to pimp his father, the two are close, needless to say.

Nine-year-old Gao Xiaowan was the third to go up to the imperial steps to draw lots. The two elder brothers took away a household department and a work department, leaving them with four departments: officials, rites, punishments, and soldiers. They are all good places to go. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion of civil officials, and the Ministry of War is in charge of the promotion of generals, which are all related to personnel.

As for the Ministry of Punishment, due to the vigorous energy of Song Youdao, the minister of the second elder brother's mother clan, and the mad dog's temper of biting anyone, for officials, Shangshu Zuocheng's yamen is much more deterrent than the Ministry of Punishment, and Lu Cao is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of criminal names in name, it is sandwiched between Shangshu Zuocheng's yamen and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but it is an angry little daughter-in-law.

There are four departments, two excellent and two inferior, divided in half. Gao Xiaowan pulled out a ball of paper with a little nervousness, opened it to look, and almost screamed out.

Gao Cheng saw the uncontrollable joy on his face, and vaguely guessed it, took a look, and it really was the official.

He showed the paper ball to everyone, and the official characters of Dou Da were written on it. Gao Xiaozhang suddenly lost the joy of being drawn to the Ministry of Households, and Gao Xiaoyu felt that the Ministry of Industry was rotten.

"When you go to the Ministry of Officials, you must not interfere with personnel changes. You must learn from old Cui Shangshu."

Gao Xiaowan answered yes repeatedly.

The last one to come up was the fourth senior Gao Xiaoguan. He randomly selected one of the remaining three paper balls, spread it out to read, and wrote a word of courtesy on it.

Gao Xiaoguan was quite open about this, he had no intention of competing with the three older brothers, so he handed the ball of paper to his father.

After Gao Cheng took it, he smiled and said:

"Gu'er has been drawn to the Ministry of Punishment, so I need to read more law books in the future."

With that said, he put away all the balls of paper.
