76_108	them from governmental posts, including chancellor positions—and soon sent Zhang Jianzhi and Cui
76_109	Xuanwei out of the capital. Wu Sansi, now in power, had much of Wu Zetian's policies, which the
76_110	five coup leaders had reversed, reinstated. Meanwhile, to diffuse some of the popular sentiment
76_111	against the Wu clan, Emperor Zhongzong demoted their titles slightly, and Wu Sansi's title was
76_112	reduced from Prince of Liang to the lesser title of Prince of Dejing. As Emperor Zhongzong also
76_113	trusted Wei Yuanzhong (whom Wu Zetian had exiled in 703 but whom Emperor Zhongzong recalled upon
76_114	his restoration to the throne), when Wu Zetian died in late 705, Wu Sansi tried to ingratiate Wei
76_115	by writing into Wu Zetian's will a provision giving Wei an additional fief of 100 households. Wei,
76_116	in gratitude, did not oppose the Wu clan further from that point.
76_117	In spring 706, Wu Sansi, fearful that Jing, Huan, and Yuan were still in the capital, sent them out
76_118	of the capital to serve as prefectural prefects. Meanwhile, an incident occurred that allowed Wu
76_119	Sansi to act further against the five coup leaders—as Emperor Zhongzong's son-in-law Wang Tongjiao
76_120	(王同皎), himself a participant in the coup, was accused of plotting with Zhang Zhongzhi (張仲之), Zu
76_121	Yanqing (祖延慶), and Zhou Jing (周璟) to kill Wu Sansi and deposing Empress Wei. The alleged plotters
76_122	were all killed, and Wu Sansi and Empress Wei thereafter accused the five coup leaders of having
76_123	been part of Wang Tongjiao's plot, and the five were demoted further, to more distant prefecture,
76_124	with no possibility of return from exile. Meanwhile, Wu Sansi, knowing that Emperor Zhongzong was
76_125	very sensitive about any accusation of adultery by Empress Wei, intentionally had people post
76_126	public accusations that she had been involved in adultery—and then framed the five coup leaders of
76_127	doing so, and the five coup leaders, already in exile, were stripped of all of their titles and
76_128	honors. Wu Sansi, at Cui Shi's suggestion, then sent the secret police official Zhou Lizhen (周利貞)
76_129	to the Lingnan region, where the five had been exiled, to survey the area, but with instructions to
76_130	have the five killed. When Zhou reached Lingnan, Zhang Jianzhi and Cui Xuanwei had already died,
76_131	but he killed Huan, Jing, and Yuan in cruel manners. It was said that after news of the five coup
76_132	leaders' deaths reached Wu Sansi, he commented, "I do not know who are good people and who are bad
76_133	people on this earth. I only know that people who are good to me are good, and people who are bad
76_134	to me are bad."
76_135	In spring 707, with an ongoing drought, Emperor Zhongzong sent Wu Sansi and Wu Youji to Emperor
76_136	Gaozong's and Wu Zetian's tomb to pray for rain, and when rain came, Emperor Zhongzong restored Wu
76_137	Zetian's ancestral temple to near-imperial ancestral temple status.
76_138	Meanwhile, Emperor Zhongzong had created his son Li Chongjun, by a concubine, crown prince, as
76_139	Empress Wei's only son Li Chongrun had been killed by Wu Zetian in 701, but Li Guo'er, encouraged
76_140	by Wu Chongxun, had designs on becoming crown princess, and repeatedly asked Emperor Zhongzong to
76_141	make her crown princess. Both she and Wu Chongxun also repeatedly insulted Li Chongjun, sometimes
76_142	calling him "slave." In fall 707, Li Chongjun, in anger, started a rebellion with the generals Li
76_143	Duozuo, Li Sichong (李思沖), Li Chengkuang (李承況), Dugu Yizhi (獨孤禕之), and Shazha Zhongyi (沙吒忠義), as
