忠臣直谏岂沽名，只欲君明国政清；
但愿此身成个是，忍教今日祸将盈。
报储一念坚金石，诛佞孤忠贯玉京：
大志未酬先碎首，令人睹此泪如倾。
话说雷开领五十名军卒，往南都追赶，似电走云飞，风驰雨骤。赶至天晚，雷开传令：‘你们饱餐，连夜追赶，料去不远。’军士依言，吃饱了晚饭又赶，将及到二更时分，军士因连日跋涉劳苦，人人俱在马上困倦，险些儿闪下马来。雷开暗想，‘夜里追赶，只怕赶过了。倘或殿下在後，我反在前，空劳心力。不如歇宿一宵，明日好赶。’叫左右，‘往前边看，可有村舍，暂借宿一宵，明日赶罢！’众军卒因连日追赶辛苦，因不得要歇息。两边将火把灯高举，照得前面松阴密密，却是村庄。及至看时，乃是一座庙宇。军卒前来禀曰：‘前面有一古庙，老爷可以暂居半夜，明早好行。’雷开曰：‘这个却好。’众军到了庙前，雷开下马，抬头一看，上悬匾字，乃轩辕庙，里面并无庙主。军卒用手推开庙门，齐造庙来，火把一照，只见圣座下一人鼾睡不醒。雷开向前看时，却是殿下殷洪。雷开叹曰：‘若往前行，却不错过了；此也是天数。’雷开叫曰：‘殿下殿下！’殷洪正在浓睡之间，猛然惊醒。只见灯火把，一族人马拥塞。殿下认得是雷开，殿下叫：‘雷将军！’雷开曰：‘殿下！臣奉天子命，来请殿下回朝；百官俱有保本，殿下可以放心！’殷洪曰：‘将军不必再言，我已尽知，料不能逃此大难。我死也不惧，只是一路行来，甚是狼狈，难以行走。乞将军把你的马，与我骑一骑，你意下如何？’雷开听说，忙答曰：‘臣的马，请殿下乘骑，臣愿步随。’彼时殷洪离庙上马，雷开步行押後，往叁叉路口而来，不表。且言殷破败望东鲁大道赶来，行了一二日，赶到风云镇；又过十数里，只见八字粉墙，金字牌匾，上书‘太师府。’殷破败勒住马看时，原来是商容丞相的府。殷破败滚鞍下马，连进相府来看，商容是殷破败的座主，殷破败是商容的门生，故此下马谒见。商容却不知太子殷郊在厅上吃饭，殷破败忝在门生，不用通报，迳到厅前，见殿下同丞相用饭。殷破败上厅曰：‘千岁！老丞相！末将奉天子旨意，来请殿下回宫。’商容曰：‘殷将军来的好；我想朝歌有四百文武，就无一员官直谏天子？文官钳口，武职不言，受爵贪名，尸位素餐，成何世界？’丞相正气骂起来，那里肯住？且说殿下殷郊战兢兢，面如金纸，上前言曰：‘老丞相不必大怒，殷将军既奉旨我，料此去必无生路。’言罢泪如雨下。商容大呼曰：‘殿下放心，我老臣本尚未完，若见天子，自有话说。’叫左右槽头：‘收拾马匹，打点行装，我亲自面君便了。’殷破败见商容自往朝歌见驾，恐天子罪责。殷破败曰：‘丞相听启！卑职奉旨来请殿下，可同殿下先回，在朝歌等候：丞相略後一步，见门生先有天子而後私情，不识丞相可容纳否？’商容笑曰：‘殷将军！我晓得你这句话。我要同行，你恐天子责你用情之罪；也罢，殿下你同殷将军前去，老夫随後便至。’却说殿下难舍商容府第，行行且止，两泪不乾。商容便叫：‘殷破败贤契，我响当当的殿下交与你，你莫望功高：有伤君臣大义，则罪不胜诛矣！’殷破败顿首曰：‘门生领命，岂敢妄为？’殿下辞了商容，同殷破败上马，一路行来。殷郊在马上暗想，我虽身死不辞，还有兄弟殷洪，尚有伸冤报怨之时。行非一日，不觉来到叁叉路口。军卒报雷开，雷开到辕门看时，只见殿下同殷破败在马上。雷开曰：‘恭喜千岁回来。’殿下下马进营，殷洪在帐上高坐，只见报说：‘千岁来了。’殷洪闻言，头看时，果见殷郊。殷郊又见殷洪，心如刀绞，意似油煎。赶上前一把扯住殷洪，放声大哭曰：‘我兄弟二人，前生得何罪於天地？东南逃走，不能逃脱，竟遭网罗。吾母戴天之仇，化为乌有！’顿足胸，伤心切骨。‘可怜我母死无辜，子亡无罪。’正是二位殿下悲啼，只见叁千士卒闻者心酸，见者掩鼻，二将不得已，推动人马，望朝歌而来。有诗为证：
‘皇天何苦失推详，兄弟逃灾离故乡；
指望借兵伸大恨，孰知中道遇豺狼？
思亲漫有冲霄志，诛佞空怀报怨方；
此(ci)日双双投陷阱(jing)，行(xing)人一见泪(lei)千行(xing)。’

奉御官读诏已毕，百官无可奈何，纷纷议论不决，亦不敢散，不知行刑旨已出午门了。这且不表。单言上天垂象，定下兴衰，二位殿下乃封神榜上有名的，自是不该绝命。当有太华山云霄洞赤精子、九仙山桃源洞广成子，只因一千五百年神仙犯了杀戒，昆仑山玉虚宫掌阐道法，宣扬正教，圣人元始天尊闭目讲筵，不阐道德。二仙无事，闲乐叁山，兴游五岳，脚踏云光，往朝歌经过。忽被二位殿下顶上两道红光，把二位大仙足下云光阻住；二仙乃拨开云头一看，见午门杀气连绵，愁云卷结，二仙早知其意。广成子曰：‘道兄！成汤王气将终，西岐圣主已出；你看那一簇众生之内，绑缚二人，红气冲霄，命不该绝。况且俱是姜子牙帐下名将，你我道心无处不慈悲，何不救他一救？你带他一个，我带他一个，回山；久後助姜子牙成功，东进五关，也是一举两得。’赤精子曰：‘此言有理，不可迟误。’广成子忙唤黄巾力士：‘与我把那二位殿下，抓回本山来听用。’黄巾力士领法旨，驾起神风，只见播土扬尘，飞沙走石，地暗天昏，一声响亮，如崩开华岳，折倒泰山。吓得围宿叁军，执刀士卒，监斩殷破败用衣掩面，抱头鼠窜。及至风思无声，二位殿下不知何往，踪迹全无。吓得殷破败魂不附体，异事非常。午门外众军一声呐喊，黄飞虎在大殿中听读诏，商议纷纷，忽闻喊声，比干正问：‘何事呐喊？’有周纪到大殿报黄飞虎曰：‘方才大风一阵，满道异香，飞沙走石，对面不能见人；只一声响亮，二位殿下不知刮往何处去了。异事非常，真是可怪！’百官闻言，喜不自胜。叹曰：‘天不绝衔冤之子，地不灭成汤之脉！’百官俱有喜色。只见殷破败慌忙进宫启奏纣王。後人有诗叹曰：
‘仙风一阵异香生，播土扬尘蔽日月；
力士奉文施道术，将军失守枉持兵。
空劳铁骑追风影，漫有谗言害 ；
堪叹废兴皆定数，周家八百已生成。’

话说众臣见商容撞死阶下，面面相觑。纣王犹怒气不息，吩咐奉御官：‘将这老匹夫尸骸，抛去都城外，毋得掩埋。’左右将尸骸抛去城外不题。不知後事如何？且看下回分解。
