詩曰：
左道傍門亂似麻，只因昏主起波查。貪淫不避彝倫序，亂政誰知國事差。
诗曰：
左道傍门乱似麻，只因昏主起波查。贪淫不避彝伦序，乱政谁知国事差。
A poem says:
Crooked ways and side doors, all in a tangle like hemp —all because a benighted ruler stirred up the trouble.Greedy and lustful, he had no regard for the constant order of human relations;misruling, who knew how far the state had gone astray?
將相自應歸聖主，韓榮何故阻行車。中途得遇靈珠子，磚打傷殘枉怨嗟。
将相自应归圣主，韩荣何故阻行车。中途得遇灵珠子，砖打伤残枉怨嗟。
Generals and ministers should of course turn to the sage ruler;why then did Han Rong stop their carts?Halfway they met with Lingzhuzi,and, maimed by his brick, he lamented in vain.
話說黃滾膝行軍前請罪，見韓榮，口稱：「犯官黃滾特來叩見總兵。」韓榮忙答禮曰：「老將軍，此事皆係國家重務，亦非末將敢于自專。今老將軍如此，有何見諭？」黃滾曰：「黃門犯法，理當正罪，原無可辭；但有一事，情在可矜之列，望總兵法外施仁，開此一線生路，則愚父子雖死于九泉，感德無涯矣。」韓榮曰：「何事分付？末將願聞。」黃滾曰：「子累父死，滾不敢怨，奈黃門七世忠良，未嘗有替臣節。今不幸遭此劫運，使我子孫一概屠戮，情實可憫。不得已，肘膝求見總兵，可憐無知稚子，罪在可宥。乞總兵放此七歲孫兒出關，存黃門一脈。但不知將軍意下如何？」韓榮曰：「老將軍此言差矣！榮居此地，自有官守，豈得循私而忘君哉！譬如老將軍權居元首，職壓百僚，滿門富貴，盡受國恩，不思報本，縱子反商，罪在不赦，髫齡無留。一門犯法，毫不容私，解進朝歌，朝廷自有公論，清白畢竟有分。那時名正言順，誰敢不服？今老將軍欲我將黃天祥放出關隘，吾便與反叛通同，欺侮朝廷，法紀何在！吾與老將軍皆不可免。這個決不敢從命。」黃滾曰：「總兵在上：黃氏犯法，一門良眷頗多，料一嬰兒有何妨礙，縱然釋放，能成何事？這個情分也做得過。『惻隱之心，人皆有之。』將軍何苦執一而不開一線之方便也。想我黃門功積如山，一旦如此，古云：『當權若不行方便，如入寶山空手回。』人生豈能保得百年常無事。況我一家俱係含冤負屈，又非大奸不道，安心叛逆者；望將軍憐念，捨而逐之，生當啣環，死當結草，決不敢有負將軍之大德矣。」韓榮曰：「老將軍，你要天祥出關，末將除非也附從叛亡之人，隨你往西岐，這件事纔做得。」黃滾三番四次，見韓榮執法不允，黃滾大怒，對二孫曰：「吾居元帥之位，反去下氣求人！既總兵不肯容情，吾公孫願投陷穽，何懼之有！」隨往韓榮帥府，自投囹圄，來至監中。黃飛虎忽見父親同二子齊到，放聲大哭：「豈料今日如老爺之言，使不肖子為萬世大逆之人也！」黃滾曰：「事已到此，悔之無益。當初原教你饒我一命，你不肯饒，我又何必怨尤！」不說黃滾父子在囹圄悲泣。且表韓榮既得了黃家父子功勳，又收拾黃家貨財珍寶等項，眾官設酒，與總兵賀功。大吹大擂，樂奏笙簧，眾官歡飲。韓榮正飲酒中間，乃商議解官點誰。」余化曰：「元帥要解黃家父子，末將自去，方保無虞。」韓榮大喜，「必須先行一往，吾心方安。」當晚酒散。次日，點人馬三千，把黃姓犯官共計十一員，解往朝歌。眾官置酒與余化餞別。飲罷酒，一聲砲響，起兵往前進發。行八十里至界牌關。黃滾在陷車中，看見帥府廳堂依舊，誰知今作犯官。睹物傷情，不由淚落。關內軍民一齊來看，無不歎息流淚。

Now, Huang Gun went on his knees before the army to plead guilty. When he saw Han Rong, he said, “The accused official Huang Gun has come to kowtow to the Commander.” Han Rong hastily returned the courtesy and said, “Old general, this whole affair is a weighty matter of state, and nothing this humble officer would dare decide on his own. Now that you come to me like this, old general, what have you to tell me?” Huang Gun said, “The house of Huang has broken the law and should rightly be punished; I have nothing to say against it. But there is one thing that deserves pity, and I hope that you, Commander, will show mercy beyond the law and open this one thread of a way to life. Then, though we, father and sons, die and go down to the Nine Springs, our gratitude will know no bounds.” Han Rong said, “What is it you would ask of me? This humble officer would like to hear.” Huang Gun said, “If a son brings his father to his death, I dare not complain. But for seven generations the house of Huang has been loyal and good, and never once fell short of a subject’s duty. Now by ill fortune we have met this doom, and my sons and grandsons are all to be slaughtered — truly a pitiful thing. I had no choice but to crawl on my elbows and knees to see you, Commander. A small child knows nothing; his guilt can be pardoned. I beg you, Commander, let this seven-year-old grandson of mine out through the pass, so that one line of the house of Huang may live. But I do not know what you think of it, General.” Han Rong said, “Old general, you are wrong to say this! I hold this post and have my official charge. How could I serve private feeling and forget my sovereign? Consider: you, old general, held the highest command and stood above all the officials; your whole house enjoyed wealth and honour, all of it by the favour of the state. Yet you gave no thought to repaying it, and you let your son rebel against the Shang. That crime is beyond pardon, and not even a child with his hair in tufts is to be spared. When a whole house has broken the law, there is no room at all for private favour. You will be sent under escort to Zhaoge, where the court will judge fairly, and in the end the innocent will be told from the guilty. Then all will be right and proper, and who would dare object? Now you want me to let Huang Tianxiang out through the pass. Then I would be in league with rebels, deceiving the court — and where would the law be? Neither you nor I would escape. This I will never dare do.” Huang Gun said, “Commander, hear me. The Huangs have broken the law, and there are a great many good folk in our household. What harm can one infant do? Even if you let him go, what could he ever achieve? Surely this much kindness can be allowed. ‘The heart of compassion — all men have it.’ Why must you hold so rigidly to the one rule, General, and not open even a thread of a way? Think: the merit of our house of Huang is piled up like a mountain, and all at once it has come to this. As the old saying goes, ‘He who holds power and does no kindness has gone to the treasure mountain and come back empty-handed.’ Who in this life can be sure of a hundred years without trouble? Besides, our whole family has been wronged and falsely accused; we are no arch-traitors, no wicked men bent on rebellion. I beg you, General, take pity on us: let him go and drive him away. In life we will bring you rings in our beaks, and when we die we will knot the grass for you; never would we dare forget your great kindness, General.” Han Rong said, “Old general, if you want Tianxiang out through the pass, the only way this humble officer could do it is to join the rebels myself and go with you to Xiqi.” Three times, four times Huang Gun pleaded, but Han Rong held to the law and would not agree. Huang Gun flew into a rage and said to his two grandsons, “I held the rank of marshal, and here I am humbling myself to beg! Since the Commander will not show mercy, we, grandfather and grandsons, will walk into the pit ourselves. What is there to fear?” And he went off to Han Rong’s headquarters, gave himself up to be imprisoned, and came into the jail. When Huang Feihu suddenly saw his father arrive with his two sons, he burst out weeping: “Who would have thought that today it would turn out just as you said, Father, and that your unworthy son would be the greatest traitor of all ages!” Huang Gun said, “Now that it has come to this, regret does no good. In the beginning I asked you to spare my life, and you would not. Why should I complain now?” But no more of Huang Gun and his son weeping in prison. Our story turns to Han Rong. He had won the credit for taking the Huangs, father and sons, and had gathered up all the Huang family’s goods, wealth and treasures besides, and his officers laid out wine to celebrate the Commander’s success. Drums thundered and horns blared, reed organs and pipes played, and the officers drank merrily. In the midst of the wine Han Rong talked over whom to appoint to escort the prisoners. Yu Hua said, “If you mean to send the Huangs, father and sons, under escort, Marshal, this humble officer will go himself; then there can be no mishap.” Han Rong was overjoyed. “It must be you, my vanguard, who goes; only then will my mind be at ease.” That evening the drinking ended. The next day he mustered three thousand men and horses and sent the accused officials of the Huang family, eleven in all, under escort to Zhaoge. The officers laid out wine to see Yu Hua off. When they had drunk, a cannon boomed, and the troops set out on the march. After eighty li they came to Jiepai Pass. From his prison cart Huang Gun saw the halls of his old headquarters, just as they had always been — who would have thought he would pass them now as an accused man? The sight stirred his grief, and he could not keep back his tears. The soldiers and people inside the pass all came out to look, and every one of them sighed and wept.
