How did Wu Zetian marry Li Shimin's son?

There is no detailed description of Wu Zetian's life in the palace during the reign of Li Shimin, only remembering that Wu Zetian trained horses for Li Shimin in his later years. In Li Shimin, there is a horse named Lion Qi. It is fat and willful, and no one can tame it. Wu Zetian waited by and said to Li Shimin, "I can subdue it, but I need three things: iron whip, iron bars and daggers.

Hit it with an iron whip. If you don't accept it, hit it on the head with an iron bar. If you don't accept it, cut its throat with a dagger. "Upon hearing this, Li Shimin praised the ambition of Wu Zetian. However, Wu Zetian didn't get Li Shimin's favor. She has been a talent for 12 years, and her status has never been improved. However, during Li Shimin's serious illness, Wu Zetian and Prince Li Zhi began to establish feelings.

In May of the first year of Yonghui (650), Li Zhi met Wu Zetian again when he entered Ganye Temple to commemorate the anniversary of Li Shimin's death.

Li Zhiyou had this idea and immediately replied.
