Since then, the Tang Dynasty has entered its heyday, which is known as the prosperous time of kaiyuan. In the later period of the rule, the pursuit of pleasure and the use of traitors led to the Anshi rebellion and the decline of the Tang Dynasty. In 762, he died in Shenlong Temple in Chang 'an, whose name was Xuanzong, because posthumous title was the supreme sage and filial piety. In order to avoid Michelle Ye's taboo, the Qing Dynasty called him Tang Huang Ming.
Although Li Longji completely consolidated the imperial power after clearing Princess Taiping, the situation at that time was not optimistic: the mutiny greatly hurt the vitality of the imperial court, and the chaos and corruption in official administration needed to be dealt with urgently. Therefore, Li Longji said, we should appoint people on their merits and promote talented people as prime ministers. In this regard, Li Longji has a keen eye and can select talents according to the needs of the times. Such as Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo and Zhang Jiuling. In the early years of Kaiyuan, the country needed to set things right and get on the right track. Li Longji took a fancy to the resourceful and decisive Yao Chong.

With the vigorous promotion of Li Longji, the plague of locusts did not continue to spread and was quickly stopped.
After the country is gradually on the right track, Li Longji will implement the rule of law. At this time, Yao Chong, who cracked down on his political opponents, took bribes, and formed cliques, stepped down. Li Longji took a fancy to Song Jing, who was honest and frank and principled. During his administration, he spoke out, ignored personal kindness, was strict with himself, and insisted on continuing to implement the good system of Yao Chong. He also attaches great importance to the selection and appointment of talents. Although he holds the power of state affairs, he never breaks the law. On the contrary, he is stricter with his relatives. Finally, Song Jing was fired by Li Longji because of her mistakes and being too old-fashioned.
After Song Jing was deposed, Zhang took his place. Soon, Zhang, who is both civil and military, took its place. After Zhang came to power, the border guards were reduced by 200,000 militarily, and the officers and men system was changed to the recruitment system: the prime minister system was reformed politically, and the military system was reformed.
