3.4 [54] 景公伐斄勝之問(wèn)所當(dāng)賞晏子對(duì)以謀勝祿臣

齊景公討伐萊國(guó)取勝問(wèn)應(yīng)當(dāng)如何賞賜功臣，晏子回答說(shuō)用智謀戰(zhàn)勝敵國(guó)應(yīng)該增加臣子的俸祿

【原文】

景公伐斄，勝之。問(wèn)晏子曰：“吾欲賞于斄何如？”對(duì)曰：“臣聞之，以謀勝國(guó)者，益臣之祿；以民力勝國(guó)者，益民之利。故上有羨獲，下有加利，君上享其（民）〔名〕，臣下利其實(shí)。故用智者不偷業(yè)，用力者不傷苦，此古之善伐者也?！惫唬骸吧?。”于是破斄之臣，東邑之卒，皆有加利。是上獨(dú)擅名，利下流也。

【今譯】

齊景公攻打萊國(guó)，獲得了勝利，問(wèn)晏子說(shuō)：“我想賞賜伐萊有功的臣子，應(yīng)該怎么做？”晏子回答道：“我聽說(shuō)，靠智謀戰(zhàn)勝敵國(guó)，應(yīng)該增加臣子的俸祿；靠百姓的力量戰(zhàn)勝敵國(guó)，應(yīng)該增加百姓的利益。因此國(guó)君有更多的收獲，臣民也有更多的利益，國(guó)君享有美名，臣民獲得實(shí)利。所以付出智謀的人盡心盡責(zé)，付出勞力的人不怕辛苦，這就是古時(shí)候善于征伐的人的做法?！本肮f(shuō)：“好?！庇谑菂⑴c討伐萊國(guó)的臣子，東部城邑的士卒，全都增加了賞賜。就這樣國(guó)君獨(dú)占了戰(zhàn)勝者的威名，臣民們則獲得了實(shí)利。

Duke Jing attacked Li and defeated it. He asked Yanzi: “I would like to grant a reward to those who were involved in Li—what do you think?”

Yanzi replied: “Here is what I have heard: those who defeat a state by means of planning increase the emoluments of their ministers; those who defeat a state through the people’s strength increase the benefits to the people. Therefore,superiors receive excess gains and inferiors receive additional benefits. The high-ranking ruler enjoys fame and his subjects benefit from its fruits. Therefore,those who use their intelligence do not shirk their obligations,and those who use their strength are not hurt by hardship. Such was the situation in ancient times for those who were skillful at attacking.”

The Duke said: “Well argued.” Thereupon,he provided additional benefits to the ministers who crushed Li and the soldiers who fought in this Eastern city-state. In this way,the superior was the only one who enjoyed fame,while the benefits trickled down.
