晋太宗宣武帝实录28

    陈牧:将军马隆兵围高唐,诸将劝其宜急攻之,寡人当如何处之?先生教我。

    萧凡:臣以为,军势有宜缓以克敌,有宜急而取之。若彼我势均,且有强援,虑腹背之患者,须急攻之,以速大利。如其我强彼弱,外无救援,力足制之者,当羁縻守之,以待其弊。兵法十围五攻,此之谓也。今齐军虽弱,然众未离心,且凭险拒守,上下同心。攻守势倍,军之常法。若其促攻,不过数旬,克之必矣,但恐伤吾士众,当持久以取之耳。

    陈牧:先生之言甚善,寡人即刻飞书。

    陈牧:寡人闻,大乱之后,必有易治之势,寡人当如何治之?先生教我。

    萧凡:臣以为,当以仁义相厉,我有公心焉,则士民不敢念其私矣;我有平心焉,则士民不敢行其险矣;我有俭心焉,士民不敢放其奢矣。此躬行之所征者也。教有道,禁不义,而身以先之,忠仁为上,勤以守之,其成虽迟,君子之德也。谲诈以御其下,欺其民而取其心,虽有立成之功,至德之所不贵也。

    陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。

    陈牧:今御史往陇西检覆群牧,得隐匿马二万馀匹,寡人甚怒,吾欲斩太仆卿及诸监官,可乎?先生以为如何?

    萧凡:臣以为,人命至重,大王奈何以畜产之故,杀千有馀人,岂不冤滥乎?臣敢以死请大王丐千馀人命,付之大理寺候审。

    陈牧:寡人之不明,以至于此乎!多所活宥,赖有先生忠言耳。

    陈牧:太原公陈泰违制,寡人欲宥之,可乎?先生以为如何?

    萧凡:臣以为,王者无私事,法不可违也,大王为其父,非民之父哉?若如此,何以仪刑四海,取法将来耶?

    陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣。

    陈牧:寡人闻,周公吐脯,天下归心,何也?先生教我。

    萧凡:臣以为,周公,文王之子也,武王之弟也,又为天子相,其于天下重矣,然尚一沐而三握发,一食而三吐哺,犹恐失天下之士也,吾闻之曰:德行广大而守以恭者荣,土地博裕而守以俭者安,禄位尊盛而守以卑者贵,人众兵强而守以畏者胜,聪明睿智而守以愚者益,博闻多记而守以浅者广。此六守者,皆谦德也。夫贵为天子,富有四海,不谦者,失天下,亡其身,桀、纣是也,可不慎乎?

    陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人谨受教。

    陈牧:寡人闻,治国有二机,何也?先生教我。

    萧凡:臣以为,刑德是也,王者尚其德而希其刑,霸者刑德并凑,强国先其刑而后德。夫刑德者,化之所由兴也,德者,养善而进阙者也,刑者,惩恶而禁后者也,故德化之崇者至于赏,刑罚之甚者至于诛。夫诛赏者,所以别贤不肖而列有功与无功也,故诛赏不可以缪,诛赏缪则善恶乱矣。夫有功而不赏,则善不劝;有过而不诛,则恶不惧;善不劝,恶不惧,而能以行化乎天下者,未尝闻也。

    陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人谨受教。
