晋太宗宣武帝实录24

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。

萧凡:臣以为,非所困而困焉,名必辱。非所据而据焉,身必危。既辱且危,死期将至,妻其可得见耶?

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。

chenmu:Thereisadescription,Trappedinstonesandtribulus,hereturnedhomewithoutseeinghiswife,Thisisabadsign,Sirtaughtmewhat‘sgoingon?

萧凡:臣以为,得道以持之,则大安也,大荣也,积美之源也。不得道以持之,则大危也,大累也,有之不如无之。及其綦也,索为匹夫,不可得也。齐湣、宋献是也。故用国者义立而王,信立而霸,权谋立而亡。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人谨受教。

陈牧:古来帝王,多以骄奢而取败,先生每犯颜切谏,不许我为非,我所以重之也,先生以为如何?

萧凡:臣以为,大王导臣使言,臣所以敢言。若大王不受臣言,臣亦何敢犯龙鳞,触忌讳也!所谓君明则臣直是也。唐太宗李世民曾言:以铜为镜,可以正衣冠;以古为镜,可以知兴替;以人为镜,可以明得失,大王得之矣。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。

陈牧:大理寺卿荀顗,杀我家臣,寡人欲罢其职,可乎?先生以为如何?

萧凡:臣以为,大王乃一国之君,今纵家臣而不奉公,则法削,法削则国弱,国弱则诸侯加兵,是无晋也,大王安得有社稷乎?以大王之贵,奉公如法则上下平,上下平则国强,国强则晋固,大王岂不尊荣,且大理寺卿荀顗奉公执法,而大王无故罢黜,恐失天下之望,臣窃以为不可。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣。

chenmu:Sirisright,Iwaswrong。

陈牧:寡人愿闻,圣王用人之道,先生教我。

萧凡:臣以为,明王之使人有五:一曰以大体期之;二曰要其成功;三曰忠信不疑;四曰至公无私;五曰与天下同忧。以大体期之,则臣自重。要其成功,则臣勤惧。忠信不疑,则臣尽节。至公无私,则臣尽情;与天下同忧,则臣尽死。夫唯信而后可以使人也。

陈牧:先生之言甚善,寡人谨受教。

chenmu:Sirisright,Iacceptyourteachings。

陈牧:敢问先生,何谓天德?

萧凡:臣以为,君子养心,莫善于诚。致诚无他,唯仁之守,唯义之行。诚心守仁则能化,诚心行义则能变。变化代兴,谓之天德。天不言而人推高焉,地不言而人推厚焉,四时不言而百姓期焉。夫此有常,以至其诚者也。天地为大矣,不诚则不能化万物;圣人为智矣,不诚则不能化万民;父子为亲矣,不诚则疏;君上为尊矣,不诚则卑。夫诚者,君子之守,而政事之本也。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。

陈牧:《易》曰:困于石,据于蒺藜,入于其宫,不见其妻,凶。何也?先生教我?

陈牧:《易》曰:何校灭耳,凶。何也?先生教我。

萧凡:臣以为,善不积,不足以成名;恶不积,不足以灭身。小人以小善为无益而弗为也,以小恶为无伤而弗去也。故恶积而不可揜,罪大而不可解。

陈牧:敢问先生,国家之利势,当以何持之?

陈牧:何谓大丈夫也?先生教我。

萧凡:臣以为,君子立天下之正位,行天下之正道,得志则与民由之,不得志则独行其道,富贵不能淫,贫贱不能移,威武不能诎,是之谓大丈夫也。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。
