    陈牧：以寡人今日之功业，比之太祖高皇帝，何如？先生以为如何？

    萧凡：臣以为，君出言自以为是，而卿大夫莫敢矫其非；卿大夫出言亦自以为是，而士庶人莫敢矫其非。君臣既自贤矣，而群下同声贤之，贤之则顺而有福，矫之则逆而有祸，如此则善安从生？且大王为高祖之子，此孝之乎？

    陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人知过矣。

    chenmu:Sirisright，Iwaswrong。

    陈牧：敢问先生，何为信之道？

    萧凡：臣以为，信者，人君之大宝也。国保于民，民保于信。非信无以使民，非民无以守国。是故古之王者不欺四海，霸者不欺四邻，善为国者不欺其民，善为家者不欺其亲。不善者反之：欺上不信下，下不信上，上下离心，以至于败。所利不能药其所伤，所获不能补其所亡，岂不哀哉！

    陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人谨受教。
