42. In the ninth month of the seventeenth year of the Zhenguan reign of the Tang, Li Xiyu, Commander-in-chief of Liangzhou, went on an inspection tour of his territory to the boundary of Changquan County southeast of the prefecture. There was a stone pillar inscription totaling one hundred and ten characters, containing such phrases as 'the Seven Buddhas,' 'the Eight Bodhisattvas,' 'the Supreme Fruit,' and 'the Buddha Field.' He submitted a memorial reporting this. An imperial decree ordered a reinspection, and finding it to be as memorialized, an edict was issued granting Liangzhou Prefecture an exemption from taxes and corvée for one year and pardoning criminals.
