晋略 巴奀月 0 字 2022-10-25

 陈牧:今巡狩许昌,而官员供奉不足,寡人欲责之,先生以为如何?

萧凡:臣以为,大王今幸许昌,临旧征行处,庶其安定,故欲加恩父老,而百姓未蒙德惠,官司苑监多及罪辜,或以供奉之物不津,又以不为献食,此则不思止足,志在奢靡,既乖行幸本心,何以副百姓之望?非圣王所为也!

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣。

陈牧:庐陵公诽我谤我,寡人欲诛之而隐其名,可乎?先生以为如何?

萧凡:臣以为,王者为善,若云行雨施,万物受其赐,及其为恶也,若天裂地震,万物所惊骇,其谁弗知,其谁弗见,岂戮一人,钳一夫之口,所能禳逃,所能弥灭哉,窃为大王羞之。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣,先生有骨鲠之气,不愧前古也。

陈牧:今世乱时艰,纷纷扰扰,且寡人性拙,先生何以教我。

萧凡:伏愿大王清心寡欲,约己爱民,达孝道于先君,布仁心于寰宇,提拔隐逸,以进贤良,屏黜奸谗,以厚风俗,训章明法,以厉三军,则齐、燕不足虑也。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。

陈牧:今厉兵秣马三载矣,天时人事在我,寡人欲伐齐、燕,所当何先,先生教我。

萧凡:臣以为当伐燕,伐齐则燕、楚皆为其首尾,则我军危矣,然伐燕,楚必不能越齐而救燕,则我失一敌,敌丧一助,此消彼长,我军伐燕必克。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人意决矣,刻日伐燕。
