《新唐书·列传·卷三十》
太宗想让功臣们都世世代代袭任刺史职位，贞观十一年，便下诏书给有关官员说： 我靠神灵的保佑，贤臣的辅佐，战胜了许多危难，使得天下太平。
帝欲功臣并世袭刺史，贞观十一年，乃诏有司： 朕凭明灵之祐，贤佐之力，克翦多难，清宇内。
Taizong wanted to let the meritorious officials succeed to the positions of governor for generations. In the eleventh year of the Zhenguan reign, he thus issued an imperial edict to the relevant officials: “With the protection of the divine, and the assistance of wise ministers, I have overcome many difficulties, and the empire is now peaceful.”
