 陈牧:今敦煌危急,朝臣议速救之,寡人甚忧之,先生何以教我?

萧凡:臣以为,敦煌虽小,城守固备,未易可拔,契丹虽强,攻敦煌不下,其众必疲,疲而击之,全胜之道也,将何救焉!且车骑将军已至酒泉,必有分画处置,臣料不出七日捷报可至。

陈牧:先生之言甚善,前置安西都护,正为今日,寡人无忧矣。

陈牧:寡人观今之群臣,罕能贞白卓异者,何也?先生教我。

萧凡:臣以为,盖求之不切,励之未津故也。若勖之以公忠,期之以远大,各有职分,得行其道;贵则观其所举,富则观其所养,居则观其所好,习则观其所言,穷则观其所不受,贱则观其所不为;因其材以取之,审其能以任之,用其所长,掩其所短;进之以六正,戒之以六邪,则不严而自励,不劝而自勉矣。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人谨受教。

陈牧:古云正臣有六,何也?寡人愿闻其详,先生教我。

萧凡:臣以为知之不难,一曰萌芽未动,形兆未见,昭然独见存亡之机,得失之要,预禁乎未然之前,使主超然立乎显荣之处,如此者,圣臣也。二曰虚心尽意,日进善道,勉主以礼义,谕主以长策,将顺其美,匡救其恶,如此者,良臣也。三曰夙兴夜寐,进贤不懈,数称往古之行事,以厉主意,如此者,忠臣也。四曰明察成败,早防而救之,塞其间,绝其源,转祸以为福,使君终以无忧,如此者,智臣也。五曰守文奉法,任官职事,不受赠遗,辞禄让赐,饮食节俭,如此者,贞臣也。六曰家国昏乱,所为不谀,敢犯主之严颜,面言主之过失,如此者,直臣也。

陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人受教矣。
