Text Chapter 236 Guan Sheng's Imperial Recommendation of the Three Heroes (1)

After a while, a general in armor walked in outside the Jinluan Palace, walking in a tiger's step, Song Huizong's body leaned forward slightly, and he carefully glanced at Guan Sheng up and down, showing a good talent. The dignified body of eight feet five or six, with three thin willow mustaches, two eyebrows into the sideburns, phoenix eyes facing the sky, face like heavy jujubes, lips if painted with Zhu, really majestic, dignified appearance, a hundred steps in front of and behind the person, just looking at this appearance, you can see that this person is extraordinary.

"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, he laughed at the moment, 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 Hanshou Tinghou 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 Liangshan grass is not destroyed, 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, 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 being on an equal footing with the emperor, which is very disrespectful, and there is another reason that it is intentional to assassinate the king and kill the driver, and punish the crime of 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 to raise his head quickly, 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. ”

Hao Siwen was Guan Sheng's sworn brother, who accompanied him to conquer Liangshan, and agreed with Xuan as Guan Sheng's deputy general, and was later captured and surrendered. When Liangshan gathered in the Great Uprising, he was ranked forty-first, and he served as the leader of the Ma Army's Xiaobiao general and the outpost leader. He died in Hangzhou during the expedition to Fangla, and was posthumously awarded the title of Yijielang.

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.

Later, Liangshan heroes were ranked, Hao Siwen was ranked 41st hero, and Liangshan Ma Jun Xiaobiao was the fourth leader of the outpost. I don't know how Hao Siwen felt after surrendering, there was also a little helplessness in the sourness. Since there is no way to serve the country, and the court does not appreciate him, then whoever appreciates him will do it with whom. However, after going up the mountain, Hao Siwen really had the opportunity to display his eighteen kinds of martial arts, as the ironclad deputy general of Guan Sheng, he accompanied Guan Sheng to the south and the north, and made a lot of contributions. After recruiting An, he worked hard, hoping that one day he would be reused by the court.

We dare not imagine how tortured Hao Siwen was after being exiled to Hangzhou, but he must have died a very tragic death.

The ugly county horse Xuanzan was originally the county king's mansion and the county horse, and his appearance was ugly, which made the county lord die with a grudge, so he could not be reused, and he was succumbed to the defense of the Yamen of the step division to protect the righteousness. He once recommended Guan Sheng to Cai Jing, and accompanied Guan Sheng to conquer Liangshan, and was the same deputy general as Hao Siwen, and was later captured and surrendered. At the time of the great gathering of Liangshan, he ranked 40th, and he was a star in the field, and his position was the leader of the Ma Army Xiaobiao General and the outpost leader of the Far Reach. He died in Suzhou during the expedition and was posthumously awarded the title of Yijielang.
