Indeed, Emperor Taizong, almost immediately, began reversing some of his policies, including his policies of creating many relatives to be imperial princes (which Emperor Taizong reversed later in 626, reducing the ranks of most of those princes to dukes) and Emperor Gaozu's gathering of many ladies in waiting (which Emperor Taizong reversed in 628, releasing about 3,000 ladies in waiting from service, although Emperor Taizong himself, later in his reign, appeared to have gathered as many if not more).
Faktisk begyndte kejser Taizong næsten omgående at ændre nogle af hans politikker, herunder hans politik for at udpege mange familiemedlemmer som kejserlige prinser (hvilket kejser Taizong ændrede senere i 626 og reducerede rækken af ​​de fleste af disse fyrster til hertuger) og kejser Gaozu's samling af mange damer i vente tjeneste (hvilken kejser Taizong ændrede i 628 og frigjorde omkring 3.000 damer i at vente fra tjeneste, selvom kejser Taizong selv senere syntes at have samlet mange).
