臣亮言:先帝(di)创(chuang)业(ye)未半,而(er)中(zhong)道崩殂。今天下(xia)三(san)分,益(yi)州疲弊(bi),此诚危急存(cun)亡之(zhi)秋也(ye)。然侍(shi)卫之(zhi)臣,不懈于(yu)(yu)内;忠(zhong)志之(zhi)士,忘身于(yu)(yu)外者,盖(gai)追(zhui)先帝(di)之(zhi)殊遇,欲报之(zhi)于(yu)(yu)陛下(xia)也(ye)。诚宜(yi)开(kai)张圣听,以(yi)光先帝(di)遗德,恢(hui)宏志士之(zhi)气;不宜(yi)妄(wang)自菲薄,引喻失义,以(yi)塞忠(zhong)谏之(zhi)路也(ye)。
宫中府中,俱为一体。陟罚臧否,不宜(yi)异(yi)同。若有作奸犯科,及为忠(zhong)善(shan)者,宜(yi)付(fu)有司,论其刑赏,以昭陛(bi)下平(ping)明(ming)之(zhi)治,不宜(yi)偏(pian)私,使(shi)内外异(yi)法也。
侍(shi)(shi)中(zhong)、侍(shi)(shi)郎(lang)郭攸之(zhi)、费祎、董允等,此(ci)(ci)(ci)皆良(liang)实,志虑忠纯,是以(yi)(yi)先(xian)帝(di)(di)简拔以(yi)(yi)遗陛(bi)下。愚(yu)以(yi)(yi)为(wei)宫中(zhong)之(zhi)事(shi),事(shi)无大小,悉(xi)(xi)以(yi)(yi)咨之(zhi),然(ran)后施行,必(bi)能(neng)(neng)裨补阙(que)漏,有所(suo)广益。将军向宠,性(xing)行淑均,晓畅军事(shi),试用于昔日(ri),先(xian)帝(di)(di)称之(zhi)曰「能(neng)(neng)」,是以(yi)(yi)众议举宠为(wei)督(du)。愚(yu)以(yi)(yi)为(wei)营(ying)中(zhong)之(zhi)事(shi),悉(xi)(xi)以(yi)(yi)咨之(zhi),必(bi)能(neng)(neng)使行阵和睦,优(you)劣得所(suo)。亲(qin)(qin)贤臣(chen)(chen),远小人,此(ci)(ci)(ci)先(xian)汉(han)所(suo)以(yi)(yi)兴隆(long)也(ye);亲(qin)(qin)小人,远贤臣(chen)(chen),此(ci)(ci)(ci)后汉(han)所(suo)以(yi)(yi)倾颓也(ye)。先(xian)帝(di)(di)在时,每与臣(chen)(chen)论此(ci)(ci)(ci)事(shi),未尝不叹息痛恨于桓(huan)、灵(ling)也(ye)。侍(shi)(shi)中(zhong)、尚书、长史、参军,此(ci)(ci)(ci)悉(xi)(xi)贞良(liang)死节之(zhi)臣(chen)(chen)也(ye),愿陛(bi)下亲(qin)(qin)之(zhi)信之(zhi),则汉(han)室之(zhi)隆(long),可(ke)计日(ri)而待也(ye)。
臣(chen)本布衣(yi),躬耕于南阳,苟全性命(ming)于乱世,不(bu)(bu)求闻达于诸侯(hou)。先(xian)(xian)帝(di)(di)不(bu)(bu)以(yi)(yi)臣(chen)卑鄙,猥(wei)自枉屈,三(san)顾臣(chen)于草(cao)庐(lu)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)中,谘臣(chen)以(yi)(yi)当(dang)世之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)事,由是感(gan)激,遂许先(xian)(xian)帝(di)(di)以(yi)(yi)驱驰。后(hou)值倾覆,受(shou)任于败(bai)军之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)际,奉命(ming)于危难(nan)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)间(jian),尔来(lai)(lai)二十有一年矣!先(xian)(xian)帝(di)(di)知臣(chen)谨慎,故临崩寄(ji)臣(chen)以(yi)(yi)大事也。受(shou)命(ming)以(yi)(yi)来(lai)(lai),夙(su)夜忧勤,恐(kong)托付(fu)不(bu)(bu)效,以(yi)(yi)伤(shang)先(xian)(xian)帝(di)(di)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)明。故五(wu)月渡泸,深入不(bu)(bu)毛。今(jin)南方已定,兵甲(jia)已足,当(dang)奖率三(san)军,北(bei)定中原,庶竭驽钝,攘(rang)除奸凶,兴复汉(han)室(shi),还(hai)于旧都;此臣(chen)所(suo)(suo)以(yi)(yi)报先(xian)(xian)帝(di)(di)而忠陛下之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)职分也。至(zhi)于斟酌损益,进尽忠言,则(ze)攸(you)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)、祎(yi)、允之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)任也。愿陛下托臣(chen)以(yi)(yi)讨贼(zei)兴复之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)效;不(bu)(bu)效,则(ze)治(zhi)臣(chen)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)罪,以(yi)(yi)告先(xian)(xian)帝(di)(di)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)灵。若无兴德之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)言,则(ze)戮(lu)攸(you)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)、祎(yi)、允等,以(yi)(yi)彰其慢。陛下亦宜自课,以(yi)(yi)谘诹善(shan)道,察纳雅言,深追先(xian)(xian)帝(di)(di)遗(yi)诏,臣(chen)不(bu)(bu)胜受(shou)恩感(gan)激。今(jin)当(dang)远(yuan)离(li),临表涕泣,不(bu)(bu)知所(suo)(suo)云。
