第一回　周宣王聞謠輕殺　杜大夫化厲鳴冤

　　詞曰：

　　　　　　道德三皇五帝，功名夏后商周；　　　　　　英雄五霸鬧春秋，頃刻興亡過手！　　　　　　青史几行名姓，北郊無數荒丘；　　　　　　前人田地后人收，說甚龍爭虎斗。

　　話說周朝，自武王伐紂，即天子位，成康繼之，那都是守成令主。又有周公、召公、畢公、史佚等一班賢臣輔政，真個文修武偃，物阜民安。自武王八傳至于夷王，覲禮不明，諸侯漸漸強大。到九傳厲王，暴虐無道，為國人所殺。此乃千百年民變之始，又虧周召二公同心協力，立太子靖為王，是為宣王。那一朝天子，卻又英明有道，任用賢臣方叔、召虎、尹吉甫、申伯、仲山甫等，复修文、武、成、康之政，周室赫然中興。有詩為證：

　　夷厲相仍政不綱，任賢圖治賴宣王。　　共和若沒中興主，周歷安能八百長！

　　卻說宣王雖說勤政，也到不得武王丹書受戒，戶牖置銘；雖說中興，也到不得成康時教化大行，重譯獻雉。至三十九年，姜戎抗命，宣王御駕親征，敗績于千畝，車徒大損，思為再舉之計，又恐軍數不充，親自料民于太... Continue reading book >>
