Chapter 981 Authorization
In Qingyun Valley, Li Xian is also paying attention to the votes.
"The prime minister's votes should not change." Gu Yue Yuhua accompanied Li Xian, watching Yan Ze'an's votes keep rising.
Li Xian nodded, but 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, laying the foundation for future reforms and so on. "
Gu Yue Yuhua nodded, and then paid attention to the votes of the Prime Minister next to her.
Unlike the prime minister, the prime minister is a brand new position, and no one has ever done it before. Naturally, no one person has a natural advantage. However, Li Yuanming was clever and gave a speech first, but gained a lot of advantages.
After accumulated competition, Li Yuanming's vote advantage has begun to decline, down to 7%, but he is still far ahead. And as of now, more than half of the citizens of the Shang Dynasty have voted. It can be predicted that if there is no change, Li Yuanming is likely to win in the end.
But... But the change appeared the next day. Police, military, and more are voting!
There are tens of millions of these people, and they are most optimistic about the military personnel—Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing. In a short period of time, the number of votes for Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing has risen sharply, especially Beichen Yuqing's number of votes is catching up with Li Yuanming.
In the evening, Beichen Yuqing's number of votes surpassed that of Li Yuanming by three votes! Three votes are not many, but this is the first time Li Yuanming has been surpassed.
As for Yan Zhengqing's votes, he was next to Li Yuanming, with a gap of less than a thousand votes.
The rest of the people 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 between Li Yuanming, Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing.
Seeing the votes of these three people, the corners of Li Xian's mouth curled up slightly. Li Yuanming was born as a poisoner. Although he is quite "moderate" now, he is still a poisoner at heart. When he made campaign speeches, he called himself a "wolf". And Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing are the commanders-in-chief of the military, and they are not peace lovers in their bones.
If one of these three people was elected prime minister in the Shang Dynasty, the surrounding countries would probably tremble.
In fact, Li Xian thought of it, and so did the foreign missions.
Gou Yuanli was muttering: "The situation will not be too good for the three of Wulu who are elected prime minister. But..."
Gou Yuanli didn't say anything, but everyone understood that no matter how worried everyone was, they couldn't change the campaign and 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 are competing fiercely, and there is not much difference between them. The votes of the rest have fallen far.
The prime minister vote has basically ended. With an absolute advantage of 12% over the second place Zhang Xianzhang, Yan Ze'an will undoubtedly continue to serve as prime minister.
A tense atmosphere hangs over the prime minister's election.
Suddenly, Li Yuanming's votes rose by more than ten votes, and he was on par with Beichen Yuqing in an instant.
Beichen Yuqing and Li Yuanming looked at each other, and they both saw the light in their eyes.
But gradually, Li Yuanming's votes began to surpass Beichen Yuqing a little bit. Although Beichen Yuqing received strong support from the military and the police, he competed with Yan Zhengqing and divided the support.
After noon, Li Yuanming finally surpassed Beichen Yuqing by more than 1,000 votes. The gap between the two parties was finally irreversible. At 5:00 p.m., when ballots were officially closed, Li Yuanming won by a margin of 2,113 votes over Beichen Yuqing.
With more than 700 million voters in the Shang Dynasty, there were only more than 2113 votes, which can be said to be a narrow victory.
"Accepted." Li Yuanming bowed his hands to his surroundings, especially when he saw Xu Ren's eyes, he was quite proud. Since entering the Shang Dynasty, Li Yuanming has been overwhelmed by Xu Ren. In any case, Xu Ren is Li Xian's first counselor, and this position is unshakable.
But now, Li Yuanming finally overwhelmed Xu Ren, and this vote was chosen by the people. In other words, Xu Ren may still be number one in Li Xian's heart, but in the hearts of the common people, Li Yuanming is the number one person under the Shang Dynasty and the virtuous king.
But Xu Ren is Xu Ren, and he didn't get annoyed, etc., but congratulated him very much. Xu Renneng was favored by Li Xian, not only because of his extraordinary talent, but also because of his broad-mindedness.
The rest of the people also came to congratulate Li Yuanming and Yan Ze'an.
At this moment, all the screens displaying ballots across the country changed, and Li Xian's face appeared: "Dear citizens of the Shang Dynasty, thank you for your support for the reform of the Shang Dynasty.
Tomorrow morning, I will personally authorize the Prime Minister at the Anyang City Lord's Mansion.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Shang Dynasty moved its capital, went to Dingshan Mansion, and went to the new palace.
From then on, Dingshan Mansion was the spiritual center and capital of the Shang Dynasty. And Anyang City will continue to exist as the actual administrative center.
Anyang City Lord's Mansion, officially changed its name to 'Prime Minister's Mansion' starting today. "
Li Xian's words immediately aroused a lot of discussion. Even Li Yuanming and other elites of the Shang Dynasty were amazed. They did not expect Li Xianhui to make such a decision without discussing it with everyone.
The move of the capital in the Shang Dynasty meant that Li Xian, Xia Qingqing and other 'royal family members' would leave the City Lord's Mansion and officially settle in the palace built in Dingshan Mansion, a huge palace covering an area of 80 kilometers.
But now this huge palace is not the place that directly controls the country; the place that directly controls the country, the administrative center, is still Anyang and Anyang City Lord's Mansion.
In the future, the Anyang City Lord's Mansion will become the 'Prime Minister's Mansion'.
When the news spread, there was an uproar.
In the previous elections, everyone felt that Li Xian was more of a formality, and the prime minister was just 'assisting'. But now it seems that this is not assistance at all, but 'mastering the great power of the Shang Dynasty'.
"Which game is this?" Countless people were shocked.
You said to elect the prime minister, but the virtuous king actually handed over all his powers, and there will be an authorization ceremony tomorrow. Li Xian is out of his mind. It is wrong to be a good king and want to be a puppet? But it doesn't look like it, what the hell is this doing?
In fact, let alone others, even Li Yuanming was a little confused—— King Xian, what are you playing?
The upper echelons of the Shang Dynasty glanced at each other, and finally looked at Xia Qingqing who was next to him. Li Yuanming was the first to speak: "Queen, this...you are going to Dingshan Mansion? This..."
Xia Qingqing waved her hand and said with a smile: "I know the shock in everyone's hearts, I will discuss it with you tonight. There are a lot of things I said, I just paraphrased the words of the virtuous king.
First of all, you need to be clear that with great power comes great responsibility.
Secondly, King Xian once said a long time ago that the system of centralized monarchy has begun to restrain the development of the Shang Dynasty, and the world of the human race also needs innovation.
For the future of the Shang Dynasty, and even the future of the human race, King Xian is willing to make various attempts.
The world is always improving, and we must take our own steps bravely. Regardless of whether there are mountains of knives and seas of fire in front of us, or cliffs, nothing can stop us.
Everyone, go forward bravely, create history, and open up the future of the human race.
Alright, let's get ready, everyone. Tomorrow morning, the Xian Wang will complete the authorization consciousness in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and will hand over the Xian King's seal to Li Yuanming.
By the way, go back and prepare a plaque. The Anyang City Lord's Mansion will officially hang the plaque of "Prime Minister's Mansion" tomorrow. Also, the city lord's mansion is a bit old, let's rebuild it after we move out. In the new era, we must have a new look. "
Early the next morning, a high platform was built in front of the Anyang City Lord's Mansion. Under the eyes of all the people, Li Xian was supported by Xia Qingqing, and walked up to the high platform from the north, trembling. Seeing such a virtuous king, the people of the Shang Dynasty suddenly stopped cheering, and a faint atmosphere of sadness and anger slowly circulated.
After Li Xian came to the stage and stood still, Li Yuanming walked up to the high platform from the south.
There was no complicated ceremony. The maid next to her was holding a plate made of purple gold with a seal on it, which was Li Xian's seal.
Li Xian picked up the seal, put it in Li Yuanming's hands, and said softly: "Li Yuanming, since the people have chosen you, you must not let the people down. Say something to the people."
After finishing speaking, Li Xian walked off the high platform, and Li Yuanming was left on the high platform.
Li Yuanming turned around slowly, looking at the gazes around him, he suddenly felt a heavy feeling in his heart, and felt that the seal on his hands seemed as heavy as a mountain.
Slowly, Li Yuanming held up the seal and said loudly: "Dear citizens of the Shang Dynasty, I, Li Yuanming, will do what I say, and I will fulfill the words in my campaign speech one by one, and lead the Shang Dynasty to the next peak.
I, Li Yuanming, will never disappoint King Xian and everyone's trust.
At the same time, Shang Dynasty is also welcome to supervise my work. Later on the official website, my email address and online email address will be given. If you have any suggestions, you can directly post them in the email address. "
After Li Yuanming finished speaking, applause gradually appeared, and then applause like ocean waves extended to the end of the line of sight.
Holding the seal in both hands, Li Yuanming walked down the high platform step by step from the north, and finally came to the front of the City Lord's Mansion. Seeing Li Yuanming approaching, someone immediately hung up the prepared plaque, and the City Lord's Mansion finally had an official name—Prime Minister's Mansion.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Li Yuanming walked slowly into the Prime Minister's Office, followed by many officials.
That afternoon, Xia Qingqing led the staff to leave, all the maids, guards, etc., and a large number of items were removed, and they headed southwest in a mighty way.
At the same time, a large number of soldiers began to live in the palace of Dingshanfu. The country's real military power, scientific research, etc. are still in the hands of Li Xian, and the real foundation of the country has also been transferred to the palace. But the political and economic aspects of the Shang Dynasty were in the prime minister's office.
Li Yuanming led the crowd to the old meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the main meeting hall at this time, the uppermost throne and the queen's seat have been covered with red cloth.
In the main meeting hall, there is a huge long table. Li Yuanming sits in the center of the north, and the rest sit in line according to their original positions. All are equals.
Sitting here, Li Yuanming's heart gradually became agitated - he was too shocked before, and he didn't realize it until now.
"Everyone, I won't say anything redundant, let's get straight to the point.
Today, three issues are discussed.
The first question is the system of the Shang Dynasty, including a series of things such as people's livelihood, industry and commerce, reform, political reform, and diplomacy.
The second question is the military affairs of the Shang Dynasty.
The third question is exploration, the exploration of the outer sky, and the exploration of the moon. This also includes the discussion of the relationship with the Yaozu. Including the current crisis in the Five Elements Spirit World.
In addition, there is another small problem, which is the renovation of the Prime Minister's Office. "
As soon as Li Yuanming finished speaking, Yan Ze'an spoke up: "In terms of politics and military affairs, I think no movement is worse than no movement. The impact of the current election in the Shang Dynasty is already big enough.
The election is an unprecedented attempt, which has a great impact on the country, and even aroused the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the surrounding countries. We should take stability as the first element now.
Moreover, we are about to unite representatives of various countries and sects of the human race to negotiate with the monster race on the reproduction technology of flesh and blood, which is another big problem.
Also, the ascension of people from the Five Elements Spirit Realm also means that many secrets on our side have already been known to the fairy world. Next, we have to be prepared, maybe the fairy world will have some way to counter us! And we actually know nothing about the fairy world. "
Everyone nodded immediately. Li Yuanming's face was serious. He had just become the Prime Minister and faced countless difficult problems.
This sudden change in the Shang Dynasty has actually shaken the entire past national system. Everyone present understands that the surrounding countries will not just watch the Shang Dynasty develop and change like this. It is precisely because of this that Li Yuanming raised additional military issues.
But the problem of the Five Elements Spirit World is even more serious. No one knows what actions the Immortal Realm will take once it learns of the changes in the Lower Realm. You know, that is the fairy world, and there are countless masters.
Everyone in the Shang Dynasty saw with their own eyes that the great ancestors of the four major sects and the Golden Immortal cultivator ascended collectively, but they were captured like chickens, and they had no power to resist. That scene, thinking about it now, makes my heart shudder.
But right now, the Shang Dynasty is going to discuss with the Yaozu about the technique of replicating flesh and blood, so that the masters of the Yaozu can be 'reincarnated'. I'm afraid it won't be too easy.
The pride in Li Yuanming's heart was blown away by the cruel reality. As the first prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, or even the entire Immortal Territory, Li Yuanming's burden was too heavy.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuanming spoke slowly: "The policy of the Shang Dynasty will remain unchanged for the time being. But the military needs to be strengthened.
Now Yingzhou is in chaos, only the Shang Dynasty was not involved in the war. Therefore, I think the surrounding countries will not let us go, and will definitely try their best to drag us into the quagmire.
In particular, pay attention to the five elements and the spirit world.
Recently, the prime minister's office has not been remodeled, and there is no time. "
Everyone started to discuss. This was a relaxed and pleasant discussion. Facing Li Yuanming, everyone was not at all cautious, and various matters and problems were quickly dealt with. The future development direction of the Shang Dynasty began to emerge.
After waiting for the meeting to adjourn, Li Yuanming looked up at the splendid city in the distance, and said slowly: Immortal Realm, and Immortal Realm, the brand new Shang Dynasty is here.
