The emperors/皇帝 called themselves '朕'(zhen4) from Qin Dynasty(2200 years ago) to Qing Dynasty(100 years ago). Before Qin Dynasty, everyone could call himself '朕', it's like ‘我’/'余'/'吾'/'俺'.
Since the emperor used '朕', the normal persons were not allowed to use '朕'.
Now It's a internet slang or humourous way to call oneself.
'朕知道了 你退下吧' may come from a TV series whose action took place in the ancient imperial palace.
