He was named Zhao Yi and became a queen after the abolition of the king. After the first year of Shangyuan, she and Gaozong were called two saints and participated in the political affairs.

After Tang Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian decided to choose Jidi to build a mausoleum on the Weibei Plateau in Guanzhong. Soon, the imperial court selected two famous alchemists nationwide, one was Yuan Tiangang, an astrologer, and the other was Li, an official in charge of Yin and Yang and astronomical calendar in the palace.
After Yuan Tiangang took the order, he searched all over the banks of the Yellow River, but he didn't find a favorite place. Later, I came to Guanzhong and came out to see the astronomical phenomena in the middle of the night. I saw a purple sky on a mountain, which happened to intersect with Beidou.
Yuan Tiangang recognized it as a treasure, and hurried up the mountain to find a suitable place. At that time, he couldn't find anything to mark, so he took out a copper coin and put it on the ground to cover the eluvial soil, and then came back to me down the mountain.
Li, another feng shui master, accepted the order and went east along the Weishui River to find the treasure. One day at noon, when the sun was shining, he saw a strange stone mountain suddenly appear on the land of Qinchuan. Looking from south to north, it seems that a young woman is sleeping naked under the blue sky and white clouds. This young woman has complete facial features.
A pair of breasts are firm and symmetrical, even with nipples and navel. What makes him even more amazing is that the young woman's legs are slightly apart, and there is a clear spring flowing in the middle all day.
Li Dawei was surprised, and hurried up the mountain. Taking meridian as the picture, he put the gossip on the gravel, pulled out his hair pin and plunged it into the soil where the two fish met, and reported back down the mountain to me.
Wu Zetian heard two people say that Ji Di chose the same direction and sent someone to review it. When the minister came to Liangshan, he found Li's hairpin stuck in Yuan Tiangang's copper coin.
Wu Zetian ordered the immediate construction, and soon Ganling was repaired. Tang Gaozong was buried, and then her husband was buried in Ganling. The terrain of Ganling should be a perfect combination of Yin and Yang and the best coordination between heaven and earth.
