Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 120: When a man is about to die, he is nothing more than the emperor!
【Fengtian Hall! 】

[“Lu Chen, why did you want to kill Chen Sanzhong!”]

【The Empress Dowager's words were just spoken.】

[Zhou Zhen laughed loudly on the steps:]

[“He is just a eunuch, so when he dies, he dies.”]

[“Why are you in such a hurry? When my father died, the Empress Dowager wasn’t this anxious!”]

【As soon as these words came out! 】

[The Empress Dowager's calm face finally showed anger.]

[“Second Brother, Sanzhong is usually very kind to you. Have you forgotten that it was he who knew that you had ascended the throne for the first time and was worried about your safety, so he stayed outside your house all night.”]

[“You became the emperor. Didn’t the Western Factory help you eliminate the many hidden dangers? Didn’t you secure your position as the emperor?”]

[“If you hadn’t begged him, would he have ambushed and killed Lu Chen?”]

【After hearing this, Zhou Zhen interrupted:】

[“Isn’t this what a slave should do?”]

[“A slave who calls himself the Nine Thousand Year Old, with overwhelming power, even an emperor like me has to be wary of him. Why? You don’t know how much I hate him.”]

[“A eunuch, a mere eunuch, do you know how he looked at me? He treated me like his heir.”]

[“What! He wants to be my Zhou Zhen’s ancestor, or is the Empress Dowager of Daqing going to remarry?”]

[“He is just a dog slave, how can he deserve it!”]

[The Empress Dowager was so angry that she was shaking all over. She never thought that the grandson she raised would say such disrespectful words.]

[A trace of sorrow flashed across her eyes, but more of it was disappointment and heartache towards Zhou Zhen.]

【“Zhou Zhen, what are you… talking about!”】

[Zhou Zhen is already at the end of his rope, and doesn't seem to be afraid of anything anymore.]

[“Why, this is the truth. Can’t the world’s affairs be told? The Empress Dowager could kill her own grandson for a eunuch, an outsider.”]

[Zhou Zhen tells his plan: "I originally planned to use Lu Chen to get rid of Chen Sanzhong, and then use the Jinwu Guard to eliminate the two of them together."]

[“But, Xie Chunan ruined my plan, and forged the imperial edict and the golden arrow. Lu Chen didn’t die!”]

[When Zhou Cheng heard this, he sneered: "Second brother, you are really vicious. You want to get rid of Shao Bao and Chen Sanzhong, and you also want to get rid of the Empress Dowager."]

[“What’s even more terrifying is that you called in the border guards and wanted to capture Xie Chun’an and wipe out the Jiangnan family in one fell swoop.”]

[“It’s really a brilliant strategy that kills three birds with one stone.”]

【"pity!"】

[“Xie Chunan has long known what you are thinking. You want to use others as pawns. Second brother, you must have the ability to do this.”]

【Zhou Cheng shook his head and said: "You are just a monarch who is not good at defending Chengdu!"】

[He wanted to seize power but was killed by the backlash. Killing can never solve problems. 】

[A true emperor knows how to maintain checks and balances.]

【Zhou Zhen's face turned gloomy amid Zhou Cheng's ridicule.】

[He didn't expect his plan to be so exposed here. He wanted to get rid of the Jiangnan family and the Empress Dowager.]

[“Stop portraying yourself as a miserable person. Everyone feels sorry for you. People like you don’t deserve it.”]

[“Zhou Cheng, stop making sarcastic remarks here. How noble do you think you are? You are just a person hiding in the dark and watching the show. You are here for this position.”]

【Zhou Cheng didn't care, his eyes revealed a complex emotion, a mixture of sympathy and ridicule.】

[“Second brother, you and I are brothers, and I didn’t want to do this. But what you did is really chilling. For the throne, for power, you are willing to sacrifice everything.”]

[“Do you know that those are your relatives, your subjects, and your people?”]

[When Zhou Zhen heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, but soon returned to their coldness. "Relatives? Subjects? People? In my eyes, these are nothing more than tools to consolidate the imperial power. As long as it can stabilize my throne and make Daqing's country forever, what does it matter if I sacrifice a few people?"]

【The Empress Dowager finally stopped talking.】

[Zhou Zhen was like a trapped wild beast in the protection of the Jinwu Guards, his eyes were bloodshot and his body exuded a crazy aura.]

[“I am the Son of Heaven. Everything that I want is my privilege. This world exists just to welcome me. But why are there so many obstacles?”]

【“Lu Lu, Xie Chun’an, Zhou Cheng, and Lao Liu, Chen Sanzhong.】

【“And you, Lu Chen!”】

【“Why do you all have to go against me, why!”】

[“You should submit to me and die for me.”]

[You just calmly looked at the current emperor, with disheveled hair, like a drunk lazy man! ] [Zhou Jinyu looked at her former husband with only sadness in her eyes. ]

[Zhou Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up at Lu Jiajun!]

[As if he had found the last straw to save his life, he pushed aside the Jinwu Guards in front of him and shouted desperately to the Lu family army.]

[“Lu Family Army, yes! There is also Lu Family Army.”]

[“You killed Lu Chen and Zhou Cheng for me, and I will confer titles on you as princes and dukes. I will also build a ancestral temple for you, which will be inherited by your generations.”]

[“Feng Haiping, from now on you are the Marshal of the Lu Family Army. I will give you the title of King of the Same Character.”]

[“Dou Gu, Dou Gu, Huang Chong, Sui Cheng… I will confer titles on you all, and you will kill them for me.”]

[There were only sneers among the Lu family army, as if they were watching a crazy actor.]

【Zhou Zhen roared.】

[Dong Jie supported Zhou Zhen, unwilling to see him like this, and advised him with a heartbroken look:]

[“Master, the situation is hopeless. Please wake up. You can’t go on like this.”]

[Zhou Zhen looked at Dong Jie in front of him and said angrily:]

[“If it weren’t for you, would I have been able to reach this point now?”]

【“You little dog slave!”】

【After Zhou Zhen finished speaking, he thrust his sword into Dong Jie's heart without any warning.】

[Zhou Zhen was already weak, and Dong Jie was wearing armor, so he couldn't penetrate the outer iron sheet, and the tip of his sword didn't even penetrate.]

[All the Jinwu Guards were personally trained by Dong Jie and are loyal to him. ]

[Several people have already come forward to grab Zhou Zhen's shoulders.]

【Dong Jie saw this and shouted:】

[“No, the master is the emperor, you can’t act rashly.”]

[Upon hearing this, the Jinwu Guards all stopped in their tracks. They looked at Dong Jie, then at Zhou Zhen, their eyes filled with hesitation and struggle.]

[In the end, they chose to retreat, but their eyes were still fixed on Zhou Zhen, as if they were ready to attack again at any time.]

[Dong Jie grabbed the long sword in Zhou Zhen's hand, and blood flowed wherever the blade touched.]

【Zhou Zhen watched all this, but he did not feel the slightest regret in his heart.】

[He sneered and threw the sword in his hand away, as if everything that happened just now was just an insignificant farce.]

【at this time!】

[Dong Jie took off his armor, revealing his scarred chest, and slowly knelt down in front of Zhou Zhen.]

[Dong has a round jade pendant on his chest, which is not considered expensive.]

【Zhou Zhen recognized it at a glance.】

[Dong Jie held the jade pendant with his bloodshot hand and said with a smile: "This was given to me by my master when I won the game of Cuju when I was ten years old in Qianfu. Dong Jie has kept it until now."]

[“If the master hadn’t taken him in, Dong Jie would have starved to death on the streets long ago, and there would be no me today.”]

[Dong Jie picked up the sword again and placed the cold blade on his chest.]

[“If the ruler wants his subjects to die, the subjects must die. This is only natural. I, Dong Jie, have said that no matter what, I will die before my master.”]

[“It’s not the master’s fault now. Man proposes, God disposes.”]

【“Dong Jie is gone!”】

[The Jinwu Guards were unable to stop him, and he died from the sword piercing his chest.]

【Blood flows to the soles of Zhou Zhen's feet.】

【Zhou Zhen suddenly woke up.】

[He looked at the Fengtian Hall, the place where ancestors were worshipped, and laughed.]

[Zhou Zhen straightened his clothes, picked up the sword from the ground, and placed it around his neck.]

[“I, Zhou Zhen, will die, the Emperor of Daqing!”]

[The Empress Dowager seemed to have known the result, and two lines of tears flowed out. ]

【There was only a smile on Zhou Jinyu's face. 】

【Zhou Cheng, however, bowed calmly from a distance.】

[Blood flows down Zhou Zhen's neck, and his entire body falls backwards.]
