Wu Zetian died in Chuigong for four years (688).
In order to please Wu Zetian, Wu Chengsi ordered people to carve the characters "The Holy Mother is here, Yongchang Emperor's career" on the stone and paint it in red. Let Tang Tongtai pretend to be Yu Luoshui and offer it to Wu Zetian after discovering it. Wu Zetian was so happy that she went to the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to God and held a ceremony to worship Luo and receive auspicious blessings. She called the stone a sacred picture given by heaven, the Luo water as Yongchang water, and named the Luo water god as Xianshenghou.
Afterwards, Wu Zetian met with hundreds of officials in the Mingtang and was given the title of Holy Mother God Emperor. For this blessing, she ordered the governors of various states, relatives of the clan, etc. To gather in the capital of God to receive the picture ten days before Bailuo.
At that time, rumors were spreading that Wu Zetian wanted to usurp the throne and summoned the clan in the name of Luoshui Shoutu to carry out a massacre.
The incident of Luo Shui's acceptance not only consolidated Wu Zetian's status, but also made her relationship with the clan more complicated. In order to weaken Wu Zetian's influence, people gradually spread rumors that monsters were causing trouble, and bizarre incidents occurred frequently in various places. In order to "confirm the destiny of heaven with auspiciousness" and successfully hold the enthronement ceremony, Wu Zetian secretly set up the Jingxuan Division to monitor supernatural forces and launched an investigation.
