Capítulo 58: Chapter 58: The Reason Behind

"Hehe?" Gu Ji chuckled as he looked at Pei Xuanjing, "Isn't that the very reason for your visit?"

With his experience, how could he not know the purpose of Pei Xuanjing's visit today?

Without feeling uncomfortable at having his intentions exposed, Pei Xuanjing thickened face and laughed, "I'm hoping that Mr. Gu can give me some guidance."

Gu Ji had always intended to provide some advice for him and did not delve into the matter, asking, "Do you know who is orchestrating the compilation of the 'Martial Classics'?"

Pei Xuanjing was puzzled, "Isn't it the emperor?"

"Hehe, yes and no!" Gu Ji took a sip of tea before replying: "On the surface, this appears to be the emperor's idea, but in essence, it is being promoted by the noble officials behind the scenes. One can say that, this is not merely a power struggle between the imperial court and top powers, but also a battle between civil officials and nobles."
