Journey to the West Chapter 10: The Second General’s Palace Gate Town Ghost Resurrection of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty

The judge said: "Your Majesty, those people are all the smoke and dust in the sixty-four places and the seventy-two places. The grass bandits, the ghosts of the princes and the leaders; they are all dead and unjust, with no income and no control, no reincarnation, and no money to support them. They are all lonely and hungry ghosts. Only if your majesty gives him some money can I save him. "Oh." Taizong said, "I am here empty-handed, but where can I find money?" The judge said, "Your Majesty, there is a man in the world who has some gold and silver. Please make a pact with me in the underworld." I will lend him a treasury to disperse these hungry ghosts." Taizong asked, "Who is this person?" The judge said, "He is from Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan, and his surname is Xiang Liang. Thirteen treasuries of gold and silver are here. If your Majesty ever borrowed it from him, you can return it to him in the underworld. "Taizong was very happy and was willing to borrow it. Then he established a clerk and a judge, lent him a treasury of gold and silver, and gave them to the Taiwei.
