Emperor Taizong gave the Tang Priest a clearance document, but the hundred kings did not slack off. What did he write?

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, wrote a customs clearance document to Tang Priest, which mainly expressed four meanings. One is that the Tang priest was appointed by Emperor Taizong to go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, and the other is that he was instructed by the gods this time. The ultimate goal of this pilgrimage is actually for the happiness of the general public.

As we all know, in fact, in ancient times, many people believed in ghosts and gods. Moreover, the economic strength of the Tang Dynasty was stronger than that of many neighboring countries. If you look at the first meaning in the customs clearance documents, most countries dare not cause trouble to Tang Priest. Because Li Shimin has clearly pointed out that the Tang Priest was appointed by himself, this customs clearance document is similar to the ancient sword or the emperor's hand. To some extent, the Tang Priest represents Li Shimin. Since there is such a factor in it, you can imagine the attitude of other countries when they see this instrument. At that time, in order to please or be afraid of being attacked by the Tang Dynasty, this face was sold to Li Shimin. Moreover, it only needs customs clearance, which has little impact on its own country.

Another meaning of customs clearance documents is that the scriptures are inspired by the gods. In ancient times, if they interfered with or stopped the man instructed by God, they would offend God. I believe the leaders of many small countries dare not take this risk. Due to the poor economic level and lack of scientific cognition in ancient times, many phenomena are explained by the immortal's view. Therefore, since the Tang Priest was instructed by the gods, it can be said that he was chosen by God. Most people will be taboo about this, so they will naturally let go when they need to clear customs.

Finally, the purpose of Tang Priest's scriptures is not to say that it is for his own fame and fortune, but for the general public. If there is an opportunity to help benefit the people, then every superior will be willing to do it.
