（三十三　己酉）　二十三年四月。帝幸翠微宮。法師玄奘陪駕。每談敘淵奧。帝必攘袂曰。與法師相值恨晚耳。未盡弘法之意。夏五月不豫。詔太尉長孫無忌中書令褚遂良入臥內。囑曰公等忠烈著在朕心。昔漢武託霍光。劉備囑諸葛亮。朕之後事一以委卿。太子仁孝。必須盡誠輔導永保社稷。無忌等叩頭流涕。帝復執太子手曰。無忌遂良在。國家事汝無憂矣。是年崩于含風殿年五十有三。

> (33. Yiyou) In the twenty-third year, in the fourth month, the Emperor visited Cuiwei Palace. Dharma Master Xuanzang accompanied the imperial retinue. Whenever they discoursed on abstruse and profound depths, the Emperor would invariably roll up his sleeves and say, 'I regret only that I met you, Dharma Master, so late, and have not yet fully realized my intention to propagate the Dharma.' In the fifth month of summer, \[the Emperor\] fell ill. He summoned Grand Commandant Zhangsun Wuji and Director of the Chancellery Chu Suiliang into his bedchamber, and charged them: 'Your loyalty and devotion are clearly etched upon my heart. Formerly, Emperor Wu of Han entrusted Huo Guang, and Liu Bei charged Zhuge Liang. My affairs after death are entrusted wholly to you. The Crown Prince is benevolent and filial; you must assist and guide him with complete sincerity to preserve the dynasty forever.' Wuji and the others kowtowed and wept. The Emperor took the Crown Prince's hand again and said, 'With Wuji and Suiliang here, you need not worry about the affairs of the state.' That year, he passed away in Hanfeng Hall at the age of fifty-three.
