When the prince came, he bumped into Li Zhi licking Wu Zetian's sleeves soaked in wine, Prince Hong was very angry, and the princess comforted the prince, very loving and harmonious.
When Li Zhi was sad, he came to the cold palace to visit the two princesses who were imprisoned here, and Wu Zetian arrived later, but did not enter, so that Li Zhi and the princess and their father and daughter could talk well. Wu Zetian discussed with the emperor, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian drove the eastern capital of Luoyang, considered the strategy of governing the country, and let Li Hong stay in Kyoto to supervise the country and exercise his ability to govern the country. After Yang's death, the rift between Li Hong and his mother deepened. He actively planned and prepared to help his father keep the surname Li and prevent the Tang Dynasty from being taken away by his mother, and wanted to take advantage of the time when he was in charge of the country to establish his own image politically. When Wu Zetian was thinking about the strategy of governing the country, the crown prince Li Hong also began to expand his influence, one year, just after the flood in Chang'an, Li Hong immediately ordered the food in the palace to be distributed to the people, and set up a tent to give porridge. This move won praise from ministers and ordinary people. Li Hong also responded to the imperial court's decree that the soldiers who fled and their families should be confiscated as slaves, and Li Zhi relaxed the punishment according to the actual situation. Li Hong's benevolent name is known to the whole world. Wu Zetian was happy for her son's actions, but she didn't know that Li Hong had his purpose in doing so. Sure enough, Wu Zetian soon found that Li Hong became more and more disobedient to her, and was very stubborn, often taking out the words of sages to refute and even criticize his mother, Wu Zetian was very uneasy. Wu Zetian was a rich country and a strong army, and he also began to implement the New Deal reform.

Wu Zetian's ideas were also welcomed by the ministers of the court and the people, and Xu Jingzong asked the emperor to be called the emperor, and the empress to be called the queen of heaven. The prince was very unhappy about this.
The emperor and the crown prince discussed, in order to avoid the government from falling into the hands of Wu Zetian, so they jointly dismissed Xu Jingzong from his official position, so that Wu Zetian lost his right-hand man. Li Zhi and Tai Zihong were very relieved. Li Zhi asked the prince to visit the two princesses, and asked the queen mother to find a good family for him. Li Hong went to the cold palace to visit his two sisters who had been confined in the palace for more than 20 years, namely Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng, who were born to Concubine Xiao Shu. At this time, the two princesses were old girls in their thirties, and they were not married. Li Hong was very sympathetic to them, and immediately invited Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian had a conflict with the crown prince, and he accused his mother of going too far under impulse. Concubine Xiao Shu's death was originally Wu Zetian's heart disease, and Li Hong revealed the scar, Wu Zetian was very annoyed, feeling that his son was separated from her. But she still agreed to Li Hong, and immediately married the two princesses out of the palace, but married the two princesses to the palace. But in order to avoid criticism, Wu Zetian decided to give the highest standard of wedding and dowry, and promoted the two Yiwei to the rank of assassins. The whole world is glorifying the kindness of the Queen of Heaven. The crown prince earned a reputation for benevolence, and the queen of heaven earned a reputation for generosity. Wu Zetian realized that the real battle had just begun, and Prince Hong was also deeply worried. The king of Tubo sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, naming Princess Taiping to marry and kiss her, otherwise she would meet each other. The emperor and queen were very embarrassed, neither wanting to marry to Tibet, but also unwilling to go to war. Lord Hao admonished in the court, and the prince coincided, the emperor was angry, Princess Taiping came to visit, the emperor and queen promised that Taiping would not marry her far away to Tibet and would not go to war easily.
The crown prince Li Hong was in charge of the battle and wanted to personally lead the troops to fight on the battlefield, while Wu Zetian wanted to let Princess Taiping become a monk, which not only avoided the princess's marriage far away, but also made Tubo have no reason to go to war. Princess Taiping returned to the Taiping Temple, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian couldn't bear it, but finally pacified the provocation of Tubo and the dispute between the DPRK and China. Li Zhi relapsed from old age, his will became more and more depressed, Li Hong often went to see his father, Li Zhi saw hope in Li Hong, and the idea of passing on the throne to Li Hong sprouted in his heart, Li Hong was secretly happy. The emperor conspired with the crown prince Hong to test Wu Zetian. After Wu Zetian knew, he also began to vigorously cultivate the power of the martial family, and recalled Wu Chenghei, Wu Sansi and Wu Youji, who were in Lingnan, back to Luoyang, and at the same time dealt with the royal family surnamed Li who broke the law, and the contradiction between Wu Zetian and the Li family was further intensified. Under the pressure of Wu Zetian, Li Xian, the king of Zhou, had no choice but to put Princess Changle's daughter, his concubine Zhao, into the side room. The ministers of the DPRK and China jointly played a concert, allowing Li Hong to inherit the unification, and for a time formed a formation in the DPRK and the Central Committee to support Li Hong to take over the throne. Li Hong was ambitious and prepared to succeed his father on the throne. Wu Zetian saw that the situation was irreparable, and took retreat as advance, and agreed to Li Hong to inherit the throne. At the dinner table of the family reunion, Prince Hong was worried, and later went to see his emperor Li Xian, the king of Zhou, and saw the embarrassing situation of the Zhao family and the Xian family.
