However, among the people of the world, the prestige had yet to dissipate.
The people of the world remembered the merits of the Gu Clan.
Moreover, generals from all corners had almost all received favors from Gu Cheng.
This was the greatest strength of the Gu Clan.
And it was precisely because of this that the entire imperial court gradually divided into two factions.
One faction was promoted by Empress Dowager Dou and those who wanted to depend on the Dou Clan.
The other faction consisted of those under the Gu Clan who had the intention to exclude foreign relatives.
And naturally, the Dou Clan was not idle either.
When they realized that the Gu Clan was destined not to be wooed and was instead the biggest obstacle to their complete control, they began a series of actions.
They successively appointed members of the Dou Clan to the Central Army and promoted Dou Xian to Grand General for this reason.
