"Haha?" Gu Ji glanced at Pei Xuanjing with a smile, "Isn't this what you came here for?"

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

Pei Xuanjing was not embarrassed when his mind was revealed, he smiled cheekily, "I hope Brother Gu can give me some advice."

Gu Ji had the intention to point out the other party, but did not go into the matter, and said, "Do you know who is behind the compilation of the 'Martial Classics' this time?"

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

"Haha, yes, but no!" Gu Ji took a sip of tea before saying, "This matter, on the surface, seems to be His Majesty's idea, but it is actually driven by Xungui's family. It can be said that this matter is a struggle. The two sides are not just the imperial court and those top forces, but also the struggle between the lineage of civil servants and the lineage of honorable people."

"I would like to hear the details..." Pei Xuanjing took the initiative to pick up the teapot next to him to add tea to Gu Ji.

Gu Ji didn't hide it, and told the reason why...

Since Emperor Taizu established the country, Daming has conferred honors and honors on all the heroes who followed him to conquer the world, and they were hereditary and used to check and balance the power of the dynasty with the civil servants.

Even though Taizu had cleaned up a lot of honorable people in his later years, there are still a lot of honorable people left. This is the origin of the honorable line.

Later, Emperor Taizong raised his army and conferred many honors and honors. In addition, Emperor Taizong's five expeditions in Mobei swept the grasslands. During this period, many people made great contributions and many people were canonized.

By the time of Emperor Xuanzong, the power of the Xungui clan had reached its peak, and the imperial court was overwhelmed by the honorable clan, and the civil servant clan could hardly breathe.

However, as the so-called prosperity and decline, the famous Yingzong succeeded to the throne, and the defeat of the civil fort completely lost all the forces that had been praised by the Xungui lineage. The lineage of Xungui has become green and yellow, and some Xungui have even become extinct.

When talking about this Yingzong, Gu Ji's face showed a bit of sarcasm.

This is really a son of a bitch, and Tian doesn't feel sorry for him. He has completely ruined the foundation that his ancestors had praised.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the civil servants not only stood up again, but even took the opportunity to infiltrate the territory that belonged to the honorable family, taking many powers that originally belonged to the honorable family.

Gu Ji even had some dark guesses in his heart, whether there would be some unspeakable bigwigs involved in the defeat of the Tumu Fort at the beginning, which would make Xungui decline since then.

Of course, he didn't mention Pei Xuanjing at all in these speculations, so he all belonged to the line of civil servants and would not expose his shortcomings.

Since then, the Wenchen clan has completely crushed Xungui, and the situation of Wenchen and Xungui clan has reversed.

After being oppressed for so many years, Xungui naturally refused to admit defeat and wanted to take back the power that belonged to him.

But it happens that the current emperor is different from the previous emperors. This one loves martial arts and military affairs, and has the style of Taizong. He wants to follow the deeds of Emperor Taizong and lead his troops to expedition to sweep across Mobei.

This made the Xungui family see the hope of rising again, and the compilation of the "Martial Classics" this time was a test and the first step in their plan.

"In that case, compiling the 'Martial Classics' is a big trouble." Pei Xuanjing said.

Gu Ji nodded, "Naturally. With the power of the imperial court, how could there be a shortage of manpower to compile the 'Martial Classics'? If it's really that simple, no one can be found."

With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention other things, just from the worship of the royal family and the worship of various vassal kings, he found a lot of things that are enough to participate in the compilation of the "Martial Classics".

And the reason why this incident became widely known was to deliberately scare the snakes and test the reaction of the civil servants.

Pei Xuanjing frowned slightly, he felt that he was thinking too simply.

Originally thought that this was the court's test of the major forces in the arena, but I didn't expect this to be a struggle within the court, not only between nobles and civil servants, but also involving the imperial power and the civil court group.

Seriously, Pei Xuanjing has some regrets about participating in this matter now. It is very difficult for him to be a third-rank warrior in this kind of struggle. If he can have the strength of a first-rank, he might gain some right to speak.

To put it in a bad way, the final result of this incident is that the losing party will probably have to pay a huge price, and a person who does not kill is considered light.

"But do you regret participating in this matter?" Gu Ji seemed to see through Pei Xuanjing's thoughts.

Pei Xuanjing smiled bitterly, "I do regret it a little bit, but unfortunately I can't escape now."

He knew that from the moment he entered the Heavenly Capital, he was already involved and could no longer escape.

"Yes, you can't escape now." Gu Ji nodded.

Now, if Pei Xuanjing wants to quit, it will definitely attract a thunderous blow from Xungui's family, because they will never allow anyone to shake the hearts of the army at this time.

"Then have you decided what to do next?" Gu Ji asked ~www.readwn.com~ Pei Xuanjing thought for a while, "Keep a low profile and keep yourself safe."

This is the best way he can think of at the moment.

He has already made up his mind, to go for a while, as long as he praises Dao Yun as soon as possible, and conducts life simulation to improve his strength, so that he can have more self-protection ability in this matter.

Gu Ji nodded, "It's really good. But can you make sure you keep a low profile so that trouble won't come to you?"

"Um?"

Pei Xuanjing's hand holding the teacup froze.

Indeed, there are times when things are not driven by personal will.

I want to do things in a low-key manner and not cause trouble, but that doesn't mean that trouble doesn't come to me.

"Hehe, Xuanjing. The first thing my brother wants to teach you to enter this city is that you can be gentle, but you can't be too low-key." Gu Ji's face turned serious, and he spoke to Pei Xuanjing solemnly.

One can be gentle, but not too low-key?

Pei Xuanjing was a little puzzled, "I also ask Brother Gu to give some pointers."

If you don't understand, you have to ask. Pei Xuanjing never felt that he knew everything and knew everything.

Especially in this capital, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, all kinds of people will exist.

And when it comes to martial arts, Gu Ji is not as good as himself.

But in terms of his behavior and tactics, compared to these officials who have been up and down for decades, he is a world of difference.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing humbly asking for advice, Gu Ji nodded.

If the other party doesn't listen, he won't mention it again, because it doesn't make any sense.

Since Pei Xuanjing could listen in, he did not hesitate to give pointers to the other party.
