君先正其身,然后乃行其教令,身不正则令不从,令不从则生变乱。
陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。
chen mu:I want to know,What is a good policy and what is a bad policy?Sir taught me。
xiao fan:I think,What the king did, people watched,It is bad policy to demand only others and not oneself,It is good policy that can lead by example,Therefore, the king must lead by example if he wants to pursue his policies,If not, then people will not follow him,It can even lead to chaos in the country。
chen mu:Sir is right,I accept your teachings。
陈牧:今许昌宫年久失修,寡人欲营之,可乎?先生以为如何?
萧凡:臣以为,大王奉太祖武皇帝开拓之大业,守惠文皇帝克终之元绪,诚宜思齐往古圣贤之善治,总观季世放荡之恶政。曩使唐懿、僖二宗,不废高祖之法度,太宗之恭俭,太祖虽有神武之才,于何所施,而大王何由处斯尊哉!今楚、蜀未定,军旅在外,诸所缮治,愿大王务从约节。
陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣。
chen mu:In Xuchang, the palace has been damaged,I want to fix it,Sir,what do you think?
xiao fan:I think,You inherited the legacy of your father and your brother,You should learn from the ancient holy kings,At the same time, you should learn from the lessons of recent times,The emperors at the end of the Tang Dynasty were mediocre,If they are diligent in handling government affairs,And insist on frugality,Like their ancestors,Then, your father cannot succeed,And you will not have the status you are now,Moreover, the State of Chu and the State of Shu have not yet been pacified,Military and government expenditures are significant,I hope you stick to frugality。
chen mu:Sir is right,I was wrong。
