Forcibly auditing the accounts and exposing every hidden rule would be a great problem.

In essence, these problems have existed for a long time and are not caused by the Near East Development Bank.

It’s just that the convenience provided by the bank has concentrated these issues.

Lifting the lid that everyone is collectively covering, aside from potentially ruining the Near East Development Bank, serves no other purpose.

As the Chancellor of the Kingdom, Grand Duke Newfoundland does not regard the Near East Development Bank as merely a money-making business.

The very act of providing financing to the nobles of the Near East region determines that the Kingdom Government cannot let them fail.

Whether it’s deliberately burning the books or a genuine fire accident, Hudson has provided an explanation.

At this point, the matter should be closed.

Grand Duke Newfoundland is very familiar with his monarch, Caesar IV may seem quick-tempered, but in reality, he is a monarch skilled in patience.

The fact that they have remained in their positions for so long is the best proof.

Normally, which king wouldn’t introduce new faces in the court after several years of reign?

Even if due to differing political views, their plans are often rejected, but for the sake of the bigger picture, Caesar IV still endures without losing his temper.

If he can tolerate the court officials who constantly frustrate him, he can surely tolerate the Kingdom Marshal who is thousands of miles away.

…

Jade Palace, with the investigation deepening, Caesar IV has also gradually felt the pressure.

Especially the indulgence of the various court factions towards the investigation team, it worries him even more.

Often, not taking action is the biggest action.

On the surface, it appears to give face to him as the King, but everything has a limit, once crossed, the situation becomes completely different.

If it was just a simple investigation of the Crown Prince case, that would be one thing, but now as the involved people continuously expand, there’s a clear trend of escalation.

Are all these people involved in the Crown Prince case?

Anyway, Caesar IV does not believe it.

If there really were so many involved, it wouldn’t take much effort not just to kill a nursing Crown Prince, but even to kill him the king.

“Mitchell, let’s put these unrelated cases on hold for now!

From now on, just focus on the Crown Prince case.

Transfer the other cases to the government to handle,”

Caesar IV said with a sigh.

He originally wanted to seize the opportunity to expand his influence in the court, but the old foxes in the court simply would not engage in battle.

Turning back and forth, it has all been a solo performance by him.

Without anyone to applaud, no matter how well he performs, it’s useless.

Eventhough plenty of people’s dark histories were exposed, those were all matters of the past and not exactly fundamental mistakes, only involving some minor characters.

If he were to forcefully associate and use this as a reason to dismiss significant court officials, it would greatly damage his majesty as a monarch.

The current old ministers in the court are not only responsible officials left by Caesar III, but also contributed significantly to the development of the kingdom, each with high prestige.

In the clash between imperial power and ministerial power, he is still somewhat at a disadvantage.

If it really escalated to a conflict, it would only lead to mutual destruction.

Placing one’s trusted aides is important, but the premise is: it cannot affect the development of the kingdom.

Moreover, retaining old ministers is not exclusive to him alone; the situation is quite similar for his cousin next door.

In order to maintain stability and balance in the court, both brothers are very cautious on the issue of personnel changes.

“Your Majesty, this is our best opportunity to intervene in the court.

Just with the evidence in the hands of the investigation team, we could pull down quite a few people.

If we get the accounts from the Near East Development Bank, we will have leverage over the bureaucrats in the Capital, and then…”

Before Mitchell could finish his sentence, Caesar IV impatiently waved his hand to interrupt: “Since the Near East Development Bank has declared the books have been burned, then they are burned.

Even if we find the accounts they transferred, what can we do?

If they insist those are fake, countercharging you with framing and entrapment, the situation will be difficult to handle then.

Even a king cannot oppose everyone!”

The hint of gloom between his brows still exposed Caesar IV’s unwillingness.

But there was no choice, with signs of cooperation between the government and the military, and even major figures from the Royal Family being implicated.

In politics, there are no eternal friends or foes, and everyone’s compromises have limits.

The burning of the accounts of the Near East Development Bank is both an explanation and an invisible warning.

Originally, Caesar IV thought the court officials would be the first to lose patience, but he never expected the investigation team to direct their Spearhead at the Near East Development Bank, suddenly dragging Hudson into it.

Other ministers dare to step up, and he could use that as an excuse to kick them out of the court and replace them with his own people.

But it so happens that it was the Grand Army Commander at the frontline who stepped up first, forcing him to pull back early.

Otherwise, if Hudson were really to be brought down, who would carry out the Near East strategy?

If the Near East is lost, the Northern Border is likely to suffer as well.

At that time, the three provinces of the Royal Family in the Northern Border, and the six provinces dowry from the Queen, will all be exposed to the Orcs’ spears.

The power struggle is important, but one cannot act recklessly!

These are all his achievements since ascending to power; if lost all at once, the political consequences are unimaginable.

Apart from his inner reluctance, Caesar IV also began to doubt the capabilities of his loyal aides.
