Looking at the enraged Western Zhou emperor, Zhou Haokun regarded him as a clown.
The Western Zhou emperor became even more furious, his eyes red and his voice hoarse as he demanded, "Speak! Tell me! What good did the destruction of the Western Zhou do for you?"
Zhou Haokun: "There are so many benefits. My mother and I will no longer have to face you, you piece of trash. The people will no longer have to suffer your oppression and exploitation. The virtuous officials in the court will no longer have to go against their conscience and face you, this cruel, stupid, and filthy wretch."
Oh right, you and your bunch of lackeys no longer need to disgust the world.
"You just need to obediently wash your necks and wait for me to settle accounts one by one. Don't worry, it'll be soon. You'll all soon pay for all the evil deeds you've committed."
Hiss~~
The Western Zhou emperor trembled with fear.
He slumped abruptly onto the dragon throne, his lips trembling for a long while before he finally managed to say, "Zhou Haokun, don't forget, you are the third prince of Western Zhou!"
Zhou Haokun's eyes were extremely cold, and his handsome and rugged face showed undisguised disgust. He immediately retorted.
"Old man, do you think I care about the status of a prince?"
To tell you the truth, the thought that I am your child makes me feel disgusted, and I wish I had nothing to do with you at all.
Oh, it's not just me; my mother and sister also find you utterly disgusting. We refuse to set foot anywhere you are.
Upon hearing this, the Western Zhou emperor's face twitched with rage, and he roared through clenched teeth, "Damn it, shut up! If you continue to disrespect me like this, believe me, I'll kill you!"
Zhou Haokun smiled dismissively, his eyes seeming to say: Come on, I'm so scared!
Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty: ...the traitor, the traitor! ! !
"Old man, you've become more and more petty over the years."
"Tsk tsk, no wonder you brought about the downfall of the Western Zhou Dynasty. You only have yourself to blame; you are the culprit behind the country's destruction. Where do you get the nerve to criticize me?"
The Western Zhou emperor took a deep breath and quickly clutched his chest. He was so angry at his rebellious son that his temples throbbed uncontrollably.
Zhou Haokun clicked his tongue twice and continued his mockery without any restraint.
"Old man, I advise you to control your temper. Judging from your weak and broken body, if you get angry a few more times, you will soon die of a cerebral thrombosis."
Don't die so soon, he hasn't had enough fun yet!
If it weren't for his yearning for freedom and unrestrained existence, he would have kicked the old man away long ago and taken the throne of the Western Zhou Dynasty himself.
Unfortunately, he lacked ambition and his heart was not in that field.
Hehe, boss!
After all these years, I've finally waited for you all.
Hey boss, it'll be soon! We'll be able to see each other again soon, and then we can have fun together again.
Ha ha ha ha……
After hearing Zhou Haokun's words, the Western Zhou Emperor turned pale. He did feel very uncomfortable and felt as if the blood in his body was rushing to his head.
Is it really as the rebellious son said, that if he gets angry a few more times, he will die of a cerebral thrombosis?
By the way, what does cerebral thrombosis mean?
Hmph, no matter what, the Western Zhou Dynasty is his domain. The rebellious son should not even think about overtaking him, nor should he even think about rebelling!
The Western Zhou emperor's eyes were filled with a sinister glint. He then slammed his hand on the armrest and shouted towards the outside of the Golden Palace:
"Guards! Guards, seize the Third Prince and imprison him in the Imperial Prison to await his fate!"
"Let's see who dares!" The Grand Tutor's expression changed drastically. Like a mother hen, he stretched out his hand and quickly blocked Zhou Haokun's path, glaring at the Western Zhou Emperor with gritted teeth and a face full of resentment.
The other ministers gritted their teeth.
They had long been bound to the Third Prince; their fates were intertwined, and they were willing to risk everything for the sake of their families.
So they quickly surrounded Zhou Haokun, firmly enclosing him within a protective circle.
This scene made the Western Zhou emperor's eyes gleam with jealousy, driving him mad!
Over the years, no one has ever protected him like this before. The ministers surrounding him are basically there to curry favor with him and gain benefits in return.
He was well aware of their purpose.
But he just loves flattery, unlike those old scoundrels who talk about national affairs and people's grievances all the time; he simply doesn't like listening to them.
Therefore, it's natural to dislike these old scoundrels.
Looking at the ministers surrounding him, Zhou Haokun felt a warm glow in his heart.
In fact, he had already secretly won over these ministers and cultivated his own faction several years ago, but it was only for self-preservation.
“Grandfather, ministers, there is no need to be nervous. I have taken control of the entire palace, and all the people waiting outside are my men.”
"Third Prince, is it true?" The Grand Tutor and his entourage were overjoyed.
They knew that the Third Prince was a shrewd and calculating person from a young age, who would not put himself in danger, much less do anything without certainty.
Zhou Haokun nodded with a smile, "It's true. Please step aside to avoid being implicated."
The Third Prince is very thoughtful!
Everyone quickly obeyed and scurried to a corner. There were too many people in the main hall, and they had no way to protect themselves. If they weren't careful, they would definitely be implicated.
The Third Prince has enough power to oppose the Emperor; it's best if they don't cause trouble.
The group of sycophantic ministers were terrified after hearing Zhou Haokun's words.
"Your Majesty, hurry! The Third Prince is plotting a rebellion! You must think of a solution!"
"Your Majesty, this is terrible! Your men still haven't entered. Could it be true, as the Third Prince said, that he has already taken control of everyone in the palace?"
"..."
As the Western Zhou emperor listened to his lackeys' words, he kept his eyes glued to the entrance of the main hall, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, but no one came in for a long time.
His pupils dilated, and he immediately sensed that something terrible was about to happen.
"Guards! Where are the Imperial Guards? Where are the Imperial Guards? Get out here right now! Get out here now!"
Zhou Haokun sneered mercilessly: "Go ahead and yell! Go ahead and yell! You old fool, even if you yell until your throat is hoarse, no one in the palace will obey your orders."
After speaking, Zhou Haokun glanced at the sycophantic ministers, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Oh! There are still people willing to listen to you. Your trusted ministers will surely protect you well."
The lackey ministers: ...Protect my ass! They themselves are in trouble.
The old emperor of Western Zhou's eyes lit up. Yes, yes, he still had ministers who could protect him.
"All of you, surround me and protect me firmly in the middle. Anyone who disobeys orders will have their entire family wiped out."
You idiot! (??へ?? ╬)
You old bastard, you're really wicked!
They always value their lives, so why should they risk their lives for you? Aren't their lives valuable too?
The sycophantic ministers all looked constipated.
They glared resentfully at the Empress of Western Zhou, then turned their heads away, ignoring his words.
The Western Zhou emperor was humiliated on the spot, feeling his face burning with shame and extreme anger. "You...you dare to disobey my orders? Do you all have a death wish?"
