陈牧:今北方无事,寡人欲作乾元观及西宫,起凌霄台于孟津,营皇陵于北邙,先生以为如何?
萧凡:臣以为,卫文公承乱亡之后,节用爱民,营建宫室,得其时制,故能兴康叔之业,延九百之祚。前奉诏书营乾元观,百姓咸讥其奢侈,以一观之功,足以平西夏矣!今又欲拟阿房而建西宫,法琼台而起凌霄,其为劳费,数倍乾元,若以资军旅,乃可兼蜀而壹楚矣!又闻营建皇陵,周围四里,深三十五丈,以铜为椁,饰以黄金;功费若此,殆非国内之所能办也。秦始皇下锢三泉,土未干而发毁。自古无不亡之国、不掘之墓,故圣王之俭葬,乃深远之虑也。大王奈何于中兴之日,而踵亡国之事乎!
陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣。
chen mu:Today, the world is stable, so I want to build some palaces, Taoist temples and imperial tombs,Sir,what do you think?
xiao fan:I think,King Wei inherited the chaotic state,He was thrifty and cared for his people,Even if he builds palaces, he builds them on a sMall scale,At the same time, it does not go against the season,Thus, he revitalized the country and continued it for hundreds of years,When you build the Qianyuan Taoist Temple, people satirize your extravagance,Its cost is enough for us to pacify the Western Xia Kingdom,Moreover, the cost of building a palace is several times more than that of the Taoist temple,If the money is spent on military expenses,Then the State of Shu and the State of Chu can also be pacified by us,It costs more for you to build the imperial tomb,Nor is the state treasury enough to support it,Qin Shi Huang did the same thing,His empire perished,His palace was destroyed,His imperial tomb was stolen,Therefore, the Holy King advocated simple funerals,You should revitalize the country,and not learn from him。
chen mu:Sir is right,I was wrong。
陈牧:寡人欲法始皇帝,筑九钟以御天下,先生以为如何?
萧凡:臣以为,大王前修观,今又筑钟,乃欲无穷也,是重敛于民也,民必哀矣,以民之哀为乐,不祥也,非圣主明王所为也,臣窃以为不妥,愿大王以刘聪为鉴。
陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣。
chen mu:I want to build nine bronze bells to deter the world, like Qin Shi Huang,Sir, what do you think?
xiao fan:I think,You have just built the Taoist temple,Now, you want to build a bronze bell,Your desire is too deep,If you do this,
