This matter has once again deepened the conflict between the two palaces.
Li Jiancheng believed Li Shimin's action was merely to ensure an additional control over military power.
This made him even more uneasy.
Even in front of Li Yuan, he and Li Yuanji never gave up any opportunity, continuously attacking Li Shimin.
The so-called brotherly bond was finally completely extinguished under the pressure of interests and ongoing conflict.
It seemed to be precisely because of Gu Yu's initial reminder.
Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shimin was not as hostile as in the original history; it was even much better than before.
He helped Li Shimin fend off many assaults.
But it was precisely because of Li Yuan's attitude that Li Jiancheng became even more panicked.
Amidst these various factors,
the relationship between the two palaces had reached a dead end.
