The question stumped He Pingsheng.
Ever since childhood, He Pingsheng had studied cultivation, never once reading the classics on governing a nation.
How could he possibly know?
"Heh..."
He Pingsheng smiled and said, "Before today's lecture begins, let me show you something!"
"Once you've seen it, you should gain some insight into the classics!"
"Come over here, all of you!"
He Pingsheng waved his hand, swept his sleeve aside, and sat down in his seat.
Soon, all twenty-one princes and princesses gathered around He Pingsheng.
Outside, the captain of the guards frowned slightly.
He felt that the Grand Tutor seemed somewhat different today, even a little frivolous.
How could he gather all the princes together just to show them something?
But given his position, he could hardly act on mere shadows and whispers.
Yet just as all twenty-one gathered around He Pingsheng, he extended his hand. With a boom, countless green thorn vines burst from his palm. In a mere instant, the poisonous vines bound all twenty-one princes and princesses.
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
Venom sprayed out.
All twenty-one fell to the ground.
With the speed of a thunderbolt that left no time to cover one's ears, He Pingsheng swept all twenty-one bodies into the Great Freedom Pearl where Jiang Lan was.
"An assassin!"
"Surround him!"
"Don't let him escape!"
"Activate the arrays!"
Though He Pingsheng had succeeded in a single strike, within one breath, the entire imperial palace mobilized at a terrifying speed.
Rumble...
The golden defensive array outside the imperial palace sprang up instantly.
Countless other arrays followed.
Streaks of light flew over, surrounding the Scripture Lecture Hall where He Pingsheng stood so tightly that not a drop of water could pass through.
Too fast.
The speed of their response almost made He Pingsheng's scalp go numb.
At that
