Gaotao was the first chief judge in ancient China. His origins are also legendary.
Gaotao's mother's name is Nuhua, and she is the daughter of a famous family. The family lives in Qufu. The woman is beautiful, dignified, and elegant. Married to Shaohao Jin Tianshi.
One night, Nuhua had a bizarre dream. Nuhua dreamed that she had come to Qufu to play outside. The mountains are green, the water is blue, the grass is blue, and the mountain flowers are red.
When Nuhua was in a relaxed mood, she suddenly saw a fairy coming down from the sky. The man of God was tall, handsome, and radiant, with a horse's face.
The man of the gods came to Nuhua and said, "I am the Golden Emperor of Heaven, and I want to give you a son with a horse's mouth."
Nuhua swept away the solemn and reserved of the past, and felt that the god man was very close, and she was very happy and satisfied with him.
So the two of them hugged each other sweetly, and walked to the green grass behind a hill, and a colorful cloud flew from the sky to cover them.
Nuhua was not a frivolous person, but she had no resistance to that god at all, she just felt very kind.
After a long time, the colorful clouds dispersed, and the god-man was gone, leaving only Nuhua to lie on the grass. I still feel very sweet when I reminisce about everything just now.
When I woke up suddenly, it turned out that I had a beautiful dream. But since that day, Nuhua found out that she was pregnant.
Ten months later, Nuhua gave birth to a boy. Look at the child, handsome and intelligent, with a bright spirit, a face like a peeled melon, and a dragon's mouth and a horse's mouth. He looks the same as the god-man Golden Emperor in that day's dream. Nuhua named him Gaotao.
Gao Tao is smart by nature, and he began to read at the age of three, and he never forgot ten lines at a glance. Don't blindly follow what the book says, always ask why.
When playing with children, he loves to formulate the rules of the game, resolve disputes, judge things wrong, and do things fairly, reasonably.
During the game, Gaotao divided the children into two teams, each with the same number of people, a dozen steps apart, and stood on opposite sides. The children of each team lined up hand in hand.
The children of Team A first shouted: "Old Zhurong".
The children of Team B then shouted, "Bring Wu Dao".
Team A then shouted, "I'll pick your soldiers and horses."
The children of Team B shouted again, "Which one to pick"?
The children of Team A shouted again: "Pick the nine babies".
The children of Team B shouted, "Nine babies are at the end of the world".
The children of Team A shouted again, "Pick you to be the bosses."
The children of Team B shouted, "The big boss is sleeping".
The children of Team A shouted again, "Pick the best among you".
The child from Team B asked, "Who is it?"
The children of Team A shouted out one person's name: "Zhang Xiaoer".
At this time, Zhang Xiaoer, whose name was called in Team B, was about to stand up and run towards Team A. Choose any place where Team A pulls hands and rushes over.
If it breaks, it wins. You can return to your team with one person from the breakout area.
Then, the game restarts. This game is a lot of fun, some are brave, some are strategic. Some deliberately betrayed the country, while others intended to return to their own team.
It is very honorable and proud to be hit by the other party.
The victorious brought back people and horses for the team, won glory for the team, and had a lot of face.
Some of the people who were taken away by the other team integrated into the new team. Some have their own team in mind, seize the opportunity to create a winning opportunity for their team, and take the opportunity to return to their own team.
Sometimes, a strong leader on one side can win back-to-back games and bring back a lot of horses for the team.
Sometimes, the side that was about to be wiped out comes back to life and turns defeat into victory.
The children played this game and kept renovating the tricks and had a lot of fun.
Once, there was a dispute between two children in the village who were younger than Gaotao, one of whom was named Xiao Shu and twisted the clothes of the other child, and the other was called Gou Yu and held an egg in his hand. came to Gao Tao and asked Gao Tao to judge.
The child said that the eggs in the dog's hand were stolen from his own chicken coop. was caught red-handed by himself, and everyone was stolen.
The dog said that it was his hen who ran to the chicken coop of Xiao Shu's house to lay eggs, and it was he who followed his hen and retrieved the eggs laid by his hen.
When Gao Tao heard it, what the two of them said was reasonable. For a while, I couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong. But one of them, to be sure, is right. Gao Tao pondered for a while, and then he had an idea.
Gao Tao asked the two and said, "Tell me first, how many chickens do you have at home?" The dog with the egg in his hand said, "I only have one chicken at home." ”
So Gao Tao said to the two: "Give me this egg first, and I will keep it for you first, and you two will each go back to your own house first, and bring another egg from the house that was laid earlier, so that I can help you solve the case." ”
The two children hesitated a little, and then they both ran back to their homes to get the eggs that their chickens had laid earlier. After a while, everyone took an egg.
Gao Tao said, "Both of you hold up the eggs in your hands. The two of them complied with Gaotao's words and lifted the eggs in their hands.
Gao Tao looked at it, the two eggs were very different, the one in the hand of the little bolt was red-skinned, and the one in the dog's hand was a white-skinned one.
At this time, Gao Tao lifted the egg he was holding in his hand to the middle of the two eggs.
The eyes of the three people shot at this egg in unison, and it turned out that this egg was also a white-skinned one.
It is self-evident that this egg was indeed not stolen, but that the dog had recovered his own eggs.
So the two of them were convinced, and they both obeyed Gaotao's verdict, and each took his own egg and went home.
Another time, two villagers were arguing with each other and tearing each other apart, and came to Gaotao to judge right and wrong. One of the villagers was also holding a piglet in his arms. There are also some lively ones to watch.
Gao Tao asked the two what was going on. Both villagers said that the piglet belonged to their family. They don't give in to each other, and they quarrel endlessly. Ask Gao Tao to make decisions for himself and cut off the little piglet for himself.
Gao Tao asked the villager who was holding the little piglet, "Where did your little piglet come from?" The villager replied, "I exchanged two buckets of millet from the market two days ago, and it broke the rope early this morning and ran away. When I asked him, he said it was his family, and if I didn't pay it back, I grabbed it back. So he twisted me and came to you for comment. ”
Gao Tao pointed to the villagers holding the piglets and asked the villagers who came to see the excitement: "Did any of you see the piglets in his yard in the past two days?"
One villager said, "I saw a piglet tied to his yard yesterday, which looks exactly like this one." Another villager also said: "I saw the piglet that his family just bought, and this is it." ”
So Gao Tao turned his head and asked another villager, "Where did the little piglet you add come from?"
The villager also replied, "My little piglet was also exchanged for two buckets of millet from the market."
Gao Tao asked at the lively crowd again, "Did anyone see that he had a piglet tied yesterday?"
No one in the crowd made a sound.
Gao Tao saw that no one made a sound, so he asked again: "Did anyone see that his family fed the pigs yesterday?"
There was still no one in the crowd.
At this time, the villager saw that there was no one to testify for him, and hurriedly said: "This little piglet was brought back by me from the market early this morning."
The villagers were silent for a moment when they heard both of them tell the story of the little piglet. I don't know who is telling the truth.
At this moment, Gao Tao spoke. I only heard Gao Tao say: "This villager told a lie. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. I don't know how Gao Tao came to his conclusions.
Gao Tao saw that everyone was puzzled. That's when the reason was revealed: "The villager said that he was a piglet that he had been replaced early this morning, which was a lie.
Because Japan and China are the market. In other words, the market does not open until noon. It wasn't early this morning before the middle of the day, so the market wasn't open at all, and he went there to get the little piglets he came back. From this he is a lie."
The villager showed his feet because he lied, and was so stammered by Gaotao that he finally had to admit that he was greedy for a small gain and wanted to get rid of the little piglet.
The people who watched the excitement nodded yes one by one, convinced. The original owner of the little piglet took the little piglet home happily.
There are more and more cases of Gaotao judging cases, and the reputation of judging cases is getting bigger and bigger, attracting more and more people to come to Gaotao to judge right and wrong. Later, even the people in the Yi and the imperial capital came to Gaotao to comment or judge the merits.
Gaotao is knowledgeable, intelligent and intelligent, clear in thinking, and reasoning and judgment based on facts. Right and wrong are clear, fair and just, and there is no partiality, whether the people are reasonable or unreasonable, they are all convinced after listening to Gaotao's verdict.
After Emperor Yao practiced the throne, he heard that Gao Tao was good at judging cases, so he summoned Gao Tao to the court and appointed Gao Tao as the official of the court judges, and later became the Dali Qing. Responsible for the education of the people of the world and the formulation of the laws, judgments and punishments of the country.
As a result, Gaotao became the first national justice of the Huaxia ethnic group.
