699 CE

The Tufan threat ceases in 699.

The Tufan king Tridu Songtsen, unhappy that Lun Qinling is monopolizing power, takes an opportunity when Lun Qinling is away from the capital Lhasa to slaughter Lun Qinling's associates.

He then defeats Lun Qinling in battle, and Lun Qinling commits suicide.

Lun Zanpo and Lun Qinling's son Lun Gongren surrender to Zhou.

After this, Tufan will experience internal turmoil for several years, and there will be peace for Zhou on the Tufan border.

Also in 699, Wu Zetian, realizing that she is growing old, fears that after her death, Li Xian and the Wu clan princes will not be able to have peace with each other, and she compels him, Li Dan, Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping's second husband Wu Youji (a nephew of hers) the Prince of Ding, and other Wu clan princes to swear an oath to each other.
