Emperor Gaozong of Tang
Emperor Gaozong of Tang (21 July 628 – 27 December 683), personal name Li Zhi, was the third emperor of the Tang dynasty in China, ruling from 649 to 683 (although after January 665 power and governance was primarily in the hands of his powerful second wife Empress Wu, later known as Wu Zetian).
Emperor Gaozong was the son of Emperor Taizong and Empress Zhangsun.
Emperor Gaozong was aided in his rule by Empress Wu during the later years of his reign after a series of strokes left him incapacitated.
Emperor Gaozong delegated all matters of state to his Strong wife and after he died in 683, power fell completely into the hands of Empress Wu, who subsequently became the only Empress regnant in Chinese history.
After his death, he was interred at the Qianling Mausoleum along with Wu Zetian.
Historians have generally viewed Emperor Gaozong as a weak ruler, inattentive to the business of the state and leaving such business to his powerful wife Empress Wu.
During the first part of his reign, Tang territorial gains, which started with his father Emperor Taizong, continued, including the conquest of Baekje, Goguryeo, and the Western Turkic Khaganate, but throughout the 670s, much of those gains were lost to the Tibetan Empire, Silla, Khitan, and Balhae.
Further, territory previously conquered that belonged to both the Göktürks and the Western Turkic Khaganate were subjected to repeated rebellions.

Sennedjem had the title" Servant in the Place of Truth".
He was buried along with his wife, Iyneferti, and family in a tomb in the village necropolis.
His tomb was discovered January 31, 1886.
When Sennedjem's tomb was found, in it there was regular furniture from his home, including a stool and a bed, which he actually used when he was alive.
His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs.

Li Shangjin (李上金) (?
- 690) was the third son of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
His mother was a palace maid surnamed Yang (楊).
When Gaozong ascended the throne, Shangjin was created Prince of Qi (杞王).
In 652, he was appointed governor of Yizhou (益州) in titular.
In 666, he was appointed prefect of Shou (寿州), then prefect of Lu (漉州).
But as his mother was disliked by Empress Wu, some officials falsely accused Shangjin to please her, and Shangjin was removed from his office.
Shangjin was then sent to Li Prefecture (
澧州, in modern Changde, Hunan).
In 682, Empress Wu pretended to be so friendly that she recalled Shangjin and allowed him to attend political affairs, along with his younger half-brother Li Sujie Prince of Poyang
(鄱陽王) born by the late Consort Xiao.
But soon she appointed Shangjin as prefect of Mian (沔州), Sujie as prefect of Yue Prefect (岳州), and would never allow them to attend political affairs.
In 684, Shangjin returned to the capital for the funeral of his father along with Sujie, Princess Yiyang (義陽公主) and Princess Xuancheng (宣城公主).
Both the two princesses were also born by Consort Xiao.
In the same year Shangjin was recreated Prince of Bi (畢王), later Prince of Ze (澤王) and appointed as prefect of Suzhou (蘇州).
In the following year he was appointed as prefect of Chen.
In 689, he was appointed as "Taizi Zuoweishuai" (太子左卫率) and prefect of Suizhou (隨州).
In 690, Wu Chengsi, nephew of Empress Wu, instructed Zhou Xing accuse Shangjin and Sujie of treason, and they were recalled to Luoyang.
When hearing Sujie had been strangled, Shangjin was so afraid that he hanged himself.
Shangjin had seven sons.
After his death, they were all exiled to Xianzhou and six of them (Yizhen, Yimei, Yizhang, Yihuan, Yijin and Yisui; 李義珍、李義玫、李義璋、李義環、李義瑾、李義璲) died there.
When Shangjin's another younger half-brother Emperor Zhongzong of Tang (born by Empress Wu) held power, Shangjin was rehabilitated, and his only living son Yixun (李義珣) succeeded his title as Prince of Ze.
But in "New Book of Tang", Shangjin had nine sons named Yiyu, Yijin, Yichen, Yizhen, Yixian, Yiwei, Yimei, Yigui and Yixun (李義瑜、李義璡、李義琛、李義珍、李義现、李義玮、李義玫、李義珪、李義珣), and Yiyu was created Prince of Changping.
