燕山此际瑞烟笼，雷起东南助晓风：
霹雳声中惊蝶梦，电光影里发尘蒙。
叁分有二开岐业，百子名全应 酆；
上世卜年龙虎将，兴周灭纣建奇功。
话说众官见商容撞死，纣王大怒，俱未及言语。只见大夫赵启，见商容皓首死於非命，又命抛尸，心下甚是不平；不觉竖目扬眉，忍耐不住，出班大叫：‘臣赵启不敢有负先王，今日殿前以死报国，得与商丞相同游地下足矣？’指纣王驾曰：‘无道昏君！绝首相，退忠良，诸侯失望；宠妲己，信谗佞，社稷摧颓。我且历数昏君的积恶，皇后遭枉酷死，自立妲己为正宫，追杀太子，使无踪迹；国无根本，不久邱墟。昏君昏君！你不义诛妻，不慈杀子，不道治国，不德杀大臣，不明亲邪佞，不正贪酒色，不智坏叁纲，不耻败五常。昏君！人伦道德，一字全无。枉为人君，空坐帝位，有辱成汤，死有馀愧！’纣王大怒，切齿拍案大驾：‘匹夫！焉敢侮君骂主？’传旨：‘将这逆贼速拿炮烙！’赵启曰：‘我死不足惜，止留忠孝於人间；岂似你这昏君断送江山，污名万载？’纣王气冲斗牛，两边将炮烙烧红，把赵启剥去冠冕，将铁索裹身，只烙的筋折皮焦骨化，烟飞九间殿，臭不可闻，众官员钳口伤情。纣王看此惨刑，其心方遂，传旨驾回。有诗为证：
‘炮烙当廷设，人威乘势热；
四肢未炮时，一炬先摧烈。
须臾化骨筋，顷刻成膏血；
要知纣山河，随此烟烬灭。’
九间殿，又炮烙大臣，百官魄散魂消不表。且言纣王回宫，妲己接见，纣王携手相挽，并坐龙墩之上。王曰：‘今日商容撞死，赵启炮烙，朕被这两个匹夫辱骂不堪，这样惨刑，百官俱还不怕；毕竟还再想法。治此倔强之辈。’妲己对曰：‘容妾再想。’王曰：‘美人大位已定，朝内百官也不敢谏阻；朕所虑东伯侯姜桓楚，他知女儿惨死，领兵反叛，引诸侯，杀至朝歌。闻仲北海未回，如何是好？’妲己曰：‘妾乃女流，识见有限，望陛下急召费仲商议，必有奇谋，可安天下。’王曰：‘御妻之言有理。’即传旨召费仲。不一时，费仲至宫拜见。纣王曰：‘姜后已死，朕恐姜桓楚闻知，领兵反乱，东方恐不得安宁，卿有何策，可定太平？’费仲跪而奏曰：‘姜后已亡，殿下又失，商容撞死，赵启炮烙，文武各有怨言。只恐内传音信，

且言叁位诸侯久不会面，重整一席，叁人共饮。将至二更时分，内中有一驿卒，见叁位大臣饮酒，点头叹曰：‘千岁千岁！你们今夜传杯欢会饮，只怕明日鲜红染市曹！’更深夜静，人言甚是明白；文王明明听见这样言语，便问：‘甚麽人说话？叫过来！’左右侍酒人等，俱在两旁，只得俱过来，齐齐跪倒。西伯问曰：‘方谁言：“今夜传杯欢会饮，明日鲜红染市曹？”’众人答曰：‘不曾说此言语。’只见姜、鄂二侯也不曾听见。西伯曰：‘句句分明，怎言不曾说？叫家将进来，出去斩了。’那驿卒听了，谁肯将身替死？只得挤出这人，众人齐叫：‘千岁爷，不干小人事！是姚福亲口说出。’姬昌听罢，叫：‘住了！’众人起去，叫姚福问曰：‘你为何出此言语，实说有赏，假诓有罪。’姚福道：‘“是非只为多开口。”千岁爷在上，这一件是机密事，小的是使命官家下的人，因姜皇后屈死西宫，二殿下大风刮去，天子信妲己娘娘，暗传圣旨，宣四位大臣，明日早朝不分皂白，一概斩首市曹。今夜小人不忍，不觉说出此言。’姜桓楚听罢，快问曰：‘姜娘娘何为屈死西宫？’姚福话已露了，收不住言语，只得从头诉说：‘纣王无道，杀子诛妻，自立妲己为正宫。’细说了一遍。姜皇后乃桓楚之女，女死心下如何不痛？身似刀碎，意如油煎，大叫一声，跌倒在地。文王叫人扶起，桓楚痛哭曰：‘我儿剜目，炮烙两手，自古及今，那有此事？’西伯劝曰：‘皇后受屈，殿下无踪，人死不能复生；今夜我等各具奏章，明早见君犯颜力谏，必分清白，以正人伦。’桓楚哭而言曰：‘姜门不幸，怎敢劳动列位贤伯上言？我姜桓楚独自面君，辨明冤枉。’文王曰：‘贤伯另自一本，我叁人各具本章。’姜桓楚两□（将‘泊’字的‘白’换成‘目’）千行，一夜修本不题。且说那费仲知四位大臣在馆驿住，奸臣费仲暗进偏殿，见纣王具言：‘四路诸侯俱到了。’纣王大喜，明日升殿，四侯必有本章上言力谏，臣启：‘陛下！明日但四侯上本，陛下不必看本，不分皂白，传旨拿出午门枭首，此为上策。’王曰：‘卿言甚善。’费仲辞王归宅。一宿晚景已过。次日，早朝升殿，聚集两班文武，午门官启奏：‘四镇诸侯候旨。’王曰：‘宣来。’只见四侯伯听诏即至殿前。东伯侯姜桓楚等高擎牙笏，进礼称臣毕，姜桓楚将本章呈上，亚相比干接本。纣王曰：‘姜桓楚！你知罪麽？’桓楚奏曰：‘臣镇东鲁，肃静边庭，奉法守公，自尽臣节，有何罪可知？陛下听谗宠色，不念元配，痛加惨刑，诛子灭伦，自绝宗嗣，信妖妃阴谋妒忌，听佞臣炮烙忠良。臣既受先王重恩，今睹天颜，不避斧钺，直言冒奏，实君负臣，微臣无负於君。望乞见怜，辨明冤枉，生者幸甚，死者幸甚。’纣王大怒驾曰：‘老逆贼命女弑君，忍心篡位，罪恶如山，今反饰词强辩，希图漏网；命武士拿出午门，碎醢其尸，以正国法。’金瓜武士，将姜桓楚剥冠服，绳索绑，姜桓楚骂不绝口，不由分说，推出午门。只见西伯侯姬昌、南伯侯鄂崇禹、北伯侯崇臾虎出班启奏：‘陛下！臣等俱有本章，姜桓楚真心为国，并无谋篡情由，望乞详察。’纣王安心要杀四镇诸侯，将姬昌等本章，放於龙案之上。不知姬昌等性命如何？且看下回分解。
