晉太宗宣武帝實錄10

陳牧:今北平未下,寡人慾屠之以威齊國,可乎?先生以為如何?

蕭凡:臣以為不可,燕降三日,吏人從服,孩兒老母,口以萬數,一旦放兵縱火,聞之可為酸鼻,大王以仁義定天下,何忍行此?仰視天,俯視地,不愧於心哉?良失弔民伐罪之義也,竊為大王所不取也。

陳牧:先生之言是也,寡人知過矣。

陳牧:今世亂紛擾,茂才良莠不齊,寡人慾廢科舉,取士於氏族,可乎?先生以為如何?

蕭凡:臣以為不可,古者,德義可尊,無擇負販,苟非其人,何取世族,名公子孫,布衣之伍,本無華素之隔,有晉以來,其流稍改,草澤奇士,猶顯清途,降及季年,專限閥閱,自是三公之子,傲九棘之家,黃散之孫,蔑令長之室,轉相驕矜,互爭銖兩,唯論門戶,不問賢能,至於末年天下大亂,非必不由此也,取士以德,以才,以量,何分世家寒門,但以閥閱取士,太祖高皇帝何猶而起也?

陳牧:先生之言是也,寡人知過矣。

陳牧:今遷都已久,寡人慾起太華殿,以固朝廷,可乎?先生以為如何?

蕭凡:臣以為,太祖始建都邑,其所營立,必因農隙,況建國已久,永安前殿足以朝會,西堂、溫室足以宴息,紫樓足以臨望,縱有修廣,亦宜馴致,不可倉促,今計所當役凡二萬人,老弱供餉,又當倍之,期半年可畢,一夫不耕,或受之飢,況四萬人之勞費,可勝道乎!願大王所宜留心也。

陳牧:先生之言是也,寡人謹受教。

陳牧:今契丹衰弱,寡人慾告高句麗、烏桓攻其左,發河西四郡及天水、隴西鮮卑擊其右,如此,北虜之滅,不過數年矣,可乎?先生以為如何?

蕭凡:臣以為,舍近謀遠者,勞而無功,舍遠謀近者,逸而有終,故日:務廣地者荒,務廣德者強,有其有者安,貪人有者殘,殘滅之敵政,雖成必敗。今國無善政,災變不息,百姓驚惶,人不自保,而復遠事邊外乎?孔子日:吾恐季孫之憂,不在顓臾,而在蕭牆之內也。願大王察之。

陳牧:先生之言是也,寡人謹受教。

陳牧:今羌王叛亂,擾動三輔,諸縣望風而降,人無固志,國家所保唯長安、武威、安定數郡,寡人甚憂之,先生何以教我?

蕭凡:臣以為,羌王雖叛,其眾未必同心,多為裹脅之民,可誘而降之,宜鎮之以靜,以至信待人。叛者親戚布在宮省,若繩之以法,則士崩立至,宜明罪不相及之義。物情既定,人有戰心,六軍精勇,器甲犀利,以待不習之兵,其勢相萬耳,可令車騎將軍郭況,兵臨五丈原以分其勢,速遣衛將軍馬隆,馳往長安以鎮關中,不出月余,關西必定,大王勿憂也。

陳牧:先生之策甚善,開寡人心懷也。

陳牧:今關西承羌亂之後而多盜,寡人甚憂之,先生何以教我?

蕭凡:臣以為昔宋均立德,猛虎渡河,卓茂行化,蝗不入境,況盜賊,人也,苟守宰得人,治化有方,止之易矣,願大王舍年勞之令,唯才是舉。

陳牧:先生之言是也,寡人謹受教。
