Chapter 617 Since ancient times, the power of the regent has been greater than that of the emperor
The second volume of the imperial decree was also written by Gu Zheng’s great-grandfather, to the effect that the eldest prince at that time should take those tokens, return to the palace to regain the throne, and punish the uncle who had already entered the palace.

The uncle who was in charge of the palace at that time was considered to be the father of the great grandfather of His Royal Highness the Prince.

In other words, His Royal Highness and the others are a generation taller than Gu Zheng.

The throne of the royal family is hereditary.

From generation to generation, there are more than 20 princes surnamed Gu who belong to the royal family, but some of them have gone to fiefs in remote areas, and they usually don't return to the capital if they have nothing to do.

Those who can stay in the capital are generally in the same breath as the royal family.

The few old princes who stood with the old prince were a little cynical.

They did not pay respects to Gu Zheng, they obviously supported His Highness the Crown Prince.

Because His Royal Highness is the same as them.

Gu Zheng looked at the ministers: "Respect the late emperor's will, Gu Zheng must wear a dragon robe, wear a crown, enter the palace, and then forget the late emperor's last wish."

"At the same time, bring the real crown jade seal back to the palace."

Then Gu Zheng bowed three times in the direction of the imperial mausoleum.

"Gu Zheng has complied with the will and entered the imperial palace, Madam and Grandpa, you may rest in peace!"

His wife and grandfather, who were forced to death by the emperor's uncle, claimed that he had written a will and voluntarily surrendered the throne to the emperor's uncle.

Therefore, at that time, the uncle of the emperor buried him in the imperial mausoleum according to the specifications of the first emperor.

All the officials were silent.

When the emperor's uncle came to power, he was taken out of the palace because of the crown jade seal passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors, so he had to rebuild a fake one.

But it's always a fake.

Therefore, the royal family has never stopped tracing the whereabouts of the real crown jade seal.

In the catastrophe in Yuecheng, apart from cutting grass and roots, the biggest purpose was to recover the things of the ancestors and those tokens.

The officials thought of the tragic fate of the two escaped princes at that time, and they gradually accepted Gu Zheng's actions.

They just hoped that Gu Zheng would not kill many civil and military officials who opposed him like the emperor uncle did back then.

There are many court officials who were not only killed, but also implicated by the nine clans.

But General Ouyang understood that Gu Zheng didn't want to be the emperor, he wanted to pass the throne to His Royal Highness as the Supreme Emperor!
Sure enough, Gu Zheng then signaled to the eunuch: read out the imperial decree.

The third imperial decree was written by Gu Zheng, to the effect that he had no interest in the throne and passed the throne to His Highness the Crown Prince.

This reversal surprised the officials.

The old man's face showed joy.

King Nanyue really kept his word!
Several old princes looked ashamed.

Think about how they dealt with Gu Zheng and the others, and then look at how others treated them...

Just now, they wanted to unite against Gu Zheng, trying to trip him up...

Although General Ouyang was mentally prepared, when he heard the third volume of imperial decree read out, he still seemed to have something stuck in his heart, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.

Alas, his military supplies are about to run out indefinitely!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once participated in scheming against Gu Ming, why does Gu Zheng want him to be the emperor?

General Ouyang was very upset to see the proud look of the old man.

Then read out the fourth volume of the imperial decree, to the effect that His Royal Highness may not be able to handle the affairs of the palace for a while, and specially appointed old general Ouyang Hui to assist His Royal Highness, and appointed him as the regent.

what?
The ministers were taken aback again.

Since ancient times, the power of the regent has been greater than that of the emperor.

Then they figured it out, King Nanyue didn't give up the throne completely to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but had restrictions.
