In Qingyun Valley, Li Xian was also paying attention to the votes.
"The prime minister's votes shouldn't change." Gu Yue Yuhua stayed beside Li Xian, watching Yan Ze'an's votes continue to rise.
Li Xian nodded and said, "According to the latest election system, Yan Ze'an can only serve for ten consecutive years at most. Five years later, or ten years later, will be the time when the competition for the position of prime minister will be the most intense. In fact, this election is just a rehearsal to lay the foundation for future reforms."
Gu Yue Yuhua nodded and then paid attention to the vote for the Prime Minister next to her.
Unlike the chancellor, the prime minister was a completely new position that had never been held before. Naturally, no one had a natural advantage. However, Li Yuanming was smart and was the first to give a speech, which gave him a lot of advantages.
After accumulated competition, Li Yuanming's vote advantage has begun to decline, down to 7%, but still far ahead. And as of now, more than half of the citizens of the Shang Dynasty have completed voting. It can be predicted that if there is no change, Li Yuanming is likely to win in the end.
But... But the change happened the next day. The police, soldiers, etc. started to vote!
There were tens of millions of these people, and the ones they favored the most were the military personnel—Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing. In a short period of time, the number of votes for Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing rose sharply, especially Beichen Yuqing, whose number of votes was catching up with Li Yuanming.
By the evening, Beichen Yuqing's vote count exceeded Li Yuanming by three votes! Three votes wasn't a lot, but this was the first time Li Yuanming was surpassed.
Yan Zhengqing's votes were right behind Li Yuanming, with a gap of less than a thousand votes.
The rest were left far behind, even Xu Ren, the think tank of the Shang Dynasty, gradually fell behind.
It seems that the prime minister will be born among Li Yuanming, Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing.
Seeing the votes of these three people, Li Xian's mouth curled up slightly. Li Yuanming was born a poisonous scholar. Although he is much more "gentle" now, he is still a poisonous scholar in his bones. During his campaign speech, he said that he was a "wolf". Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing are military commanders, and they are not peace lovers in their bones.
If one of these three people were elected as prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, the surrounding countries would probably tremble.
In fact, Li Xian thought of it, and so did the foreign envoys.
Gou Yuanli was muttering: "Which of the three Wulu is elected prime minister, the situation will not be good. But..."
Gou Yuanli didn't say it, but everyone understood: no matter how worried everyone was, they couldn't change the campaign and the election, they could only watch as a bystander.
The third day came, and there were not many votes left. Li Yuanming, Beichen Yuqing, and Yan Zhengqing were competing fiercely, and the gap between them was not big. The votes of the rest of the people were far behind.
The prime minister vote was almost over. Yan Ze'an had an absolute advantage of 12% over the second place Zhang Xianzhang, and he would undoubtedly continue to serve as prime minister.
A tense atmosphere hangs over the Prime Minister's election campaign.
Suddenly, Li Yuanming's votes increased by more than ten votes, and in an instant he was on par with Beichen Yuqing.
Beichen Yuqing and Li Yuanming looked at each other and saw the gleam in each other's eyes.
