天运循环有替隆,任他胜算总无功;
方 少进和平策,又道提兵欲破戎。
数定岂容人力转,期逢自与鬼神通;
从来逆孽终归尽,力纵回天亦是空。
话说黄元帅见比(bi)干(gan)如此不言,迳出午(wu)门,命:‘黄明、周纪随着老殿下(xia)(xia)往何(he)处去?’二将领命去讫。且(qie)说比(bi)干(gan)走(zou)马(ma)如飞,只(zhi)闻(wen)得风(feng)声之(zhi)响;约走(zou)五七里之(zhi)遥,只(zhi)听得路旁有一妇(fu)人(ren)(ren),手提(ti)筐篮,叫(jiao)卖无心菜。比(bi)干(gan)忽听得,勒马(ma)问曰:‘怎麽(mo)是无心菜。’妇(fu)人(ren)(ren)曰:‘民妇(fu)卖的是无心菜。’比(bi)干(gan)曰:‘人(ren)(ren)若是无心如何(he)?’妇(fu)人(ren)(ren)曰:‘人(ren)(ren)若无心即死?’比(bi)干(gan)大叫(jiao)一声,撞下(xia)(xia)马(ma)来,一腔(qiang)热血溅尘埃。有诗为证:

闻太师立於御书案傍,磨墨润毫,将笔递与纣王,请即时批准施行。纣王看十款之中,头一件便是拆鹿台,纣王曰:‘鹿台之工,费无限钱粮,成功不易;今一旦拆去,实是可惜,此等再议。二件炮烙准行。叁件虿盆准行。五件贬苏后,今妲己德性幽娴,并无失德,如何便加谪眨?也再议。六件中大夫费、尤二人,素有功而无过,何为谗佞,岂得便加诛戮?除此叁件,以下准行。’太师奏曰:‘鹿台工大,劳民伤财,黎民怨深,拆之所以消天下百姓之隐恨。皇后惑陛下造此惨刑,神鬼怒怨,屈魂无伸,乞速贬苏后;则神喜鬼舒,屈魂瞑目,所以消天下之幽怨。速斩费仲、尤浑,则朝纲清净,国内无谗。圣心无惑乱之虞,则朝政不期清而自清矣。愿陛下速赐施行,幸无迟疑不决,以误国事,则臣不胜幸甚。’纣王没奈何,立语曰:‘太师所奏,朕准七件,此叁件候议妥再行。’闻太师曰:‘陛下莫谓叁事小节而不足为,此叁事关系治乱之源,陛下不可不察,毋得草草放过。’只见中大夫费仲还不识时务,出班上殿见驾,闻太师认不得费仲,问曰:‘这员官是谁?’仲曰:‘卑职费仲是也。’太师道:‘先生既是费仲,先生上殿有甚麽话讲?’仲曰:‘太师虽位极人臣,不安国体,持笔逼君批行奏疏,非礼也;本参皇后,非臣也;令杀无辜之臣,非法也;太师灭君恃己,以下凌上,肆行殿廷,大失人臣之礼。可谓大不敬。’太师听说,当中神目睁开,长髯直竖,大声曰:‘费仲巧言惑主,气杀我也!’将手一拳,把费仲打下丹墀,面门青疼。只见尤浑怒上心来,上殿言曰:‘太师当殿毁打大臣,非打费仲,即打陛下矣。’太师曰:‘汝是何人?’尤浑曰:‘吾是尤浑。’太师笑曰:‘原来是你两个贼臣,表里弄权,互相回护。’趋向前只一拳打去,把那奸臣翻斗;跌下丹墀有丈馀远近,唤左右:‘将费、尤二人拿出午门斩了。’当朝武士最恼此二人,听得太师发怒,将二人拿出午门,闻太师怒冲牛斗,纣王默默无语,口里不言,心中暗道:‘费、尤二臣不知趋避,自讨其辱。’闻太师复奏请纣王发行刑旨。纣王怎肯杀费、尤二人,纣王曰:‘太师奏疏俱说得是,此叁件事,朕俱允服,待朕再商议而行。费、尤二人虽是冒犯参卿,其罪尚小,且发下法司勘问。情真罪当,彼亦无怨。’闻太师见纣王再叁委曲,反有兢业颜色,自思吾虽为国直谏尽忠,使君惧臣,吾先得欺君之罪矣。太师跪而言曰:‘臣但愿四方绥服,百姓奠安,诸侯宾服,臣愿足矣,敢有他望哉?’纣王传旨将费、尤发下法司勘问。七条条陈,限即举行,叁条再议妥施行,纣王回阙,百官各散。天下兴,好事行;天下亡,祸胎降。太师方上条陈事已,同府去,不防东海反了平灵王,飞报进朝歌来。先至武成王府,黄元帅见报叹曰:‘兵戈四起,八方不宁,如今又反了半灵王,何时定息?’黄元帅把报差官送到闻太师府里来。太师在府正坐,侯堂官报:‘黄元帅差官见老爷。’太师命:‘令来。’差官将报呈上,太师看罢,打发来人随即往黄元帅府里来。黄元帅迎接到殷上行礼,分宾主坐下。闻太师道:‘元帅今反了东海平灵王,老夫来与将军共议;还是老夫去,还是元帅去?!黄元帅答曰:‘末将去也可,老太师去也可,但凭太师主意。’太师想一想道曰:‘黄将军你还随朝,老夫领二十万人马,前往东海,剿平反叛,归国再商政事。’二人共论停当,次日早朝,闻太师朝贺毕,太师上表出师。纣王宝毕,惊问曰:‘平灵王又,如之奈何?’闻太师奏曰:‘臣之丹心,忧国忧民,不得不去。今留黄飞虎守国,臣往东海削平反叛。愿陛下早晚以社稷为重,条陈叁件,待臣回再议,’纣王闻奏大悦,巴不得闻太师去了,不在面前搅扰,心中甚是清洁。忙传谂发黄钺白旄,即与闻太师饯行起兵。纣王驾出朝歌东门,太师接见,纣王命斟酒赐与太师,闻仲接酒在手,转身递与黄飞虎。太师曰:‘此酒黄将军先饮。’飞虎欠身曰:‘太师远征,圣上所赐,黄飞虎怎敢先饮。’太师曰:‘将军接此酒,老夫有一言相告。’黄飞虎依言接酒在手。闲太师曰:‘朝纲无人全赖将军,当今若是有甚不平之事,理当直谏;不可钳口结舌,非人臣爱国之心。’太师回身见纣王曰:‘臣此去无别事忧心,愿陛下听忠告之言。以社稷为重,毋变乱旧章,有乖君道。臣此一去,多则一载,少见半年,不久便归。’太师用罢酒,一声炮响起兵,迳往东海去了。眼前一段蹊跷事,惹得刀兵滚滚来。不知胜负如何?且看下回分解。
