    陈牧：大理寺卿荀顗，杀我家臣，寡人欲罢其职，可乎？先生以为如何？

    萧凡：臣以为，大王乃一国之君，今纵家臣而不奉公，则法削，法削则国弱，国弱则诸侯加兵，是无晋也，大王安得有社稷乎？以大王之贵，奉公如法则上下平，上下平则国强，国强则晋固，大王岂不尊荣，且大理寺卿荀顗奉公执法，而大王无故罢黜，恐失天下之望，臣窃以为不可。

    陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人知过矣。

    陈牧：寡人愿闻，圣王用人之道，先生教我。

    萧凡：臣以为，明王之使人有五：一曰以大体期之；二曰要其成功；三曰忠信不疑；四曰至公无私；五曰与天下同忧。以大体期之，则臣自重。要其成功，则臣勤惧。忠信不疑，则臣尽节。至公无私，则臣尽情；与天下同忧，则臣尽死。夫唯信而后可以使人也。

    陈牧：先生之言甚善，寡人谨受教。
