This is the reference from the previous entry. It is never meant to be factual. But sometimes things just happen. More interestingly and cruelly, they happen again and again.
一日,紂王正與妲己以及新納妖婦喜媚共進早餐,忽見妲己口吐鮮血,昏迷不醒。喜媚道是妲己舊病複發,須玲瓏心一片煎湯救治,並推算說惟亞相比干是玲瓏七竅之心。紂王急向比干索其心。比干怒奏曰:『心者,一身之主,隱于肺內,坐六葉兩耳之中,百惡無侵,一侵即死。心正,手足正;心不正,則手足不正。心乃萬物之靈苗,四象變化之根本。吾心有傷,豈有生路!老臣雖死不息,只是社稷丘墟,賢能盡絕。今昏君聽新納妖婦之言,賜吾摘心之禍,只怕比干在,江山在,比干亡,社稷亡!』紂王怒道:『君叫臣死,不死不忠。檯上毀君,有污臣節,如不從命,武士拿劍去取心來!』比干破口大罵妲己,望太廟大拜八拜後,接劍自剖其腹,摘心擲于地,走出五門,上馬而去。
