"The last general, Guan Sheng, pays a visit to Your Majesty." Guan Sheng came to the center of the main hall, knelt on the ground with his robe, and said loudly, the voice was like a flood of bells, full of heroism.

Song Huizong is more and more pleasing to the eye, Guan Sheng's first impression is particularly good, and he is more and more loved by the emperor.

Some things are like this, when two people meet for the first time, one person is annoyed at the first sight when he sees the other person, how to look at it and how he hates it, and he can't say what the reason is, it just doesn't look pleasing to the eye, which is called stereotype bias in psychology, and it also has a theoretical basis.

This is the first impression that makes people feel bad, and often the key to many things lies in this first impression, and psychological research shows that when you don't know anything about a person, you should naturally pay special attention to all the unknown information about it.

Because of "preconceived notions", people tend to trust first impressions. Different orders in which information appears have different effects on the impressions people form. When people recognize a perceptual object based on a series of information, the information they receive initially has an overwhelming advantage over the information they receive later. People attach more importance to the information they begin to receive and use it as a basis for evaluating others, so that they neglect the information they receive later that is not in harmony with the initial one.

People interpret new information based on first impressions. When the new information is inconsistent with the first impression, they will even deny the new information and succumb to the first impression, which is easy to cause subjective one-sidedness of interpersonal cognition. Since first impressions are generally formed without any context, they are more profound and intense.

First impressions have the potential to become "stereotypes", mental patterns inherent in the mind.

Guan Sheng's first impression of Song Huizong was very good, full of heroism and majesty, this is the demeanor of a general.

At the moment, he laughed, and said with some joy: "General Guan, please get up, I am very happy to see the general today, I don't want the descendants of the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion to be so heroic, that is, the demeanor of this general is not something that ordinary people can have, there are generals, why worry that the grass of Liangshan will not be destroyed, and why worry that my Great Song Dynasty is not solid." ”

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and I dare not be ashamed." Guan Sheng hugged his fists and said modestly, during this period, Guan Sheng has been slightly lowering his head, staring at the floor with his eyes dead.

This is also a rule, the courtiers can not directly look at the emperor when they meet the emperor, and looking at the emperor is equivalent to sitting on an equal footing with the emperor, which is very disrespectful, and there is another reason that the king is deliberately assassinated and killed, and the crime of punishing the nine clans, so all the courtiers in ancient times saw the emperor with their heads down, that is, the emperor asked him to raise his head, which was also a quick head, and then quickly lowered.

Song Huizong looked at Guan Sheng, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The thieves of Liangshan, who are bold, do not take my Great Song Dynasty in their eyes at all, break the important town of the imperial court, and kill the officials of the imperial court, I appointed General Guan as the general of rebellion, and allocated 30,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo, 5,000 horse troops, and 5,000 imperial forest troops, to conquer the Liangshan thieves, and send troops in the near future." ”

After speaking, Song Huizong asked again and said, "Does General Guan have any other requirements?" ”

Guan Sheng bowed down to Song Huizong and said: "The last general will thank Your Majesty for his kindness, if you don't exterminate the Liangshan thieves, the last general will not return to Beijing, and there are many people in Liangshan who are brave and good at fighting. ”

"Which three? How can the general be so respected? Song Huizong asked with some curiosity.

At that moment, Guan Sheng replied: "Pudongjing Muqian Hao Siwen, Busi Yamen Defense Envoy Baoyi Chou County Ma Xuanzan, Tokyo Jiazhan Deputy Envoy Gunner Bombardment Lei Lingzhen. ”

Jing Mu Qian Hao Siwen is Guan Sheng's sworn brother, and he conquered Liangshan with him.

Although Hao Siwen is not famous in the Water Margin, and the number of appearances is small, he is definitely a powerful figure who is both civil and military.

There is no way to do things on the well, there are few plagues, everything is unfavorable, and money is dissipated. And the 犴 (狴犴) is a kind of animal, Jingmu 犴 is a kind of animal, it is a kind of beast in ancient legends, and it is said that it is one of the nine sons of the dragon, and its image is often painted on the door of the prison in ancient times.

From Hao Siwen's nickname, it can also be inferred that this person is extraordinary.

With the lofty ideal of serving the court and assisting the king, he learned eighteen martial arts since he was a child, and was familiar with the book of war. But aspiring young people who cherish the heart of serving the country and have literature and martial arts in their hearts, in an era when traitors were in power in the late Northern Song Dynasty, will aspiring young people definitely be able to taste what they want? Although they were finally enabled by the imperial court, they were just regarded as the accomplices of the ministers.

Choujun Ma Xuanzan looks like the bottom of a pot, with nostrils facing the sky, curly hair and red beard. However, because he won the general, the king of the county recruited the county horse. Who would have thought that the county lord who was a golden branch and jade leaf thought he was ugly and died with a grudge. Therefore, Xuanzan has never been reused, and only a defense is made to protect righteousness.

When he was conquering Liangshan before, Xuanzan also heard about it, and he also recommended Guan Sheng to Cai Jing, but at that time there was already Hu Yanzhuo.

Song Huizong heard the three people recommended by Guan Sheng, although he had not heard of it, but people gather by like, things by groups, and those who can make Guan Sheng's recommendation are not mediocre straw bags after all, Song Huizong was just about to agree, but he thought of the scene of the previous conquest of Liangshan, that Dong Ping, Hu Yanzhuo and others are not famous generals, and that is not a famous family, but now, not all of them have taken refuge in Liangshan Caokou, which will be used, but they also have to be guarded against.

Before Song Huizong could speak, Murong Yanda, who was also in the court, spoke. "Your Majesty, General Guan's recommendation for Ling Zhen is no longer in Tokyo. When Weichen Qingzhou was beaten, he saw artillery, like Ling Zhen's means! ”

Murong Yanda's opening was simply earth-shattering.

Cai Jing, Gao Yu gasped a few times, and Guan Sheng was also uncomfortable.

Guan Sheng hurriedly attached himself to the ground and confessed: "The last general does not know anyone, I implore Your Majesty to confess!" ”

Song Huizong didn't want to worship the general just now, but now it was not going well, so he waved his hand to express his absolution.

"That's good, the decree is that Xuanzan is the vanguard officer, Hao Siwen is the deputy general, and the general Guan Sheng obeys the order, and the eunuch An Dahai is the supervisor, what else do you have to say?" Song Huizong also kept a heart and said at the moment.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." As soon as Song Huizong's words fell, he heard Tong Guan walk out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen recommended two generals to assist General Guan, and my heavenly soldiers will definitely increase their strength greatly, and breaking the Liangshan Caokou is just around the corner." ”

"Which two generals are Aiqing talking about?" Song Huizong asked.

"The commander of the left battalion of the guard's pro-army infantry army made Cao Dabin and the infantry army in front of the palace wait for Zheng Qing." Tong Guan said.

The two people recommended by Tong Guan are his two righteous sons, two of the thirteen Taibao, Cao Dabin, the eleventh Taibao night wandering god and Zheng Qing, the twelfth Taibao mountain tiger, Tong Guan sent the two of them to Guan Sheng's command because he wanted the two of them to fight on the battlefield to get a military feat, and after they came back, they could be promoted, and the second thought was to watch Guan Sheng, and not let him take refuge in Liangshan again.

Hearing Tong Guan's words, Song Huizong nodded and said: "Tong Aiqing is loyal to the monarch and the country, and he is worthy of being the pillar of the country. Well, he ordered the two to be deputy generals and go out with the army. ”

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

After the event, Song Huizong announced his retreat from the court, and the civil and military officials in the hall shouted long live, and after sending the emperor out, they each went out of the Jinluan Hall and out of the palace.

After Guan Sheng got out of the palace, he looked back at this splendid and luxurious palace, and sighed heavily, it seems that the imperial court used itself just to let himself help them quell the rebellion, to be their dog, to supervise the army An Dahai, and the deputy generals Cao Dabin and Zheng Qing were all sent by the emperor to monitor him, although Guan Sheng had a lot of dissatisfaction and disappointment in his heart, but now that the wood has been completed, the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.
