Chapter 1578 1579: The Fifth Integrity Picket Bureau

corruption!

Aslan was expressionless and leaned quietly on the sofa.

Official corruption, in whatever context, emerges over time.

It's just that Aslan didn't expect that such a problem would appear in the empire so soon, which was beyond his expectation.

Avril looked at Aslan curiously. She didn't understand why the teacher was so calm when he heard the news, and he didn't get into a rage, let alone sink into water.

Click!

Aslan lit himself a cigarette and smoked silently.

Wilson lowered his head and took out the data and report letter he had reviewed.

Originally, this was Essien's business, but unfortunately Essien had nothing to do about it. He wanted to use a heavy code, and the empire had only been at peace for a few years, and all the officials in that city were taken down at once. Not to mention that there is an unprecedented earthquake.

It was difficult for Essien to start, and he didn't know how to open his mouth to reveal this matter, so he let Wilson be the bad guy.

After smoking a cigarette, Aslan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he picked up the report letter and the suspected corruption accounts on the coffee table.

When Aslan read it, he still didn't say a word.

Wilson whispered, "Your Majesty!"

Aslan waved his hand and stood up.

"Let Essien come to see me in the imperial study!"

The Imperial Study Room is where Aslan works in the palace. With Aslan's lazy character, the Imperial Study Room is vacant most of the time.

Because of this vacant state, every time Aslan summons the minister there, it will definitely have a major impact on the empire.

Wilson shook slightly, bowed his head and replied, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

Since Aslan asked Wilson to call Essien, it was to ask Wilson to remind Essien to be prepared. If the answer at that time did not satisfy him, Essien, the Minister of State, would also come to an end.

Avril Lavigne couldn't understand this, and she didn't ask until Aslan left, "Mr. Wilson, what was the teacher's attitude just now?"

"On the eve of the storm!"

After Wilson finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the State Council, leaving him with little time left.

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace of Merlot.

Aslan quietly looked at the information brought back from the Security Bureau of the Second Empire, which made his veins twitch.

He did not expect that the province of Cleveland had been corrupted to such an extent.

Wilson's report letter was nothing more than the city of Brevin, which was hit by a major earthquake in the province of Cleveland, and the governor of the province of Cleveland would naturally not be ignorant of Brevin's ability to engage in corruption in such an open manner.

The Governor of Cleveland Province was the former Duke of Fierlow, who rewarded the Duke of Fierlow for his contribution to the dragon. However, Duke Fierro died of illness five years ago, and his eldest son, Hynes, took over the position of Governor. In the same year, he also Drive Hathaway out of the Philo family.

"In the past few years, these old nobles have begun to revert to their old ways, and they really regard the land they control as their own territory."

Aslan was so angry that he threw the document in his hand on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Minister Essien is here."

Aslan waved his hand and asked the court maid who was standing beside him to step back, preventing her from tidying up the documents on the floor.

"Let him in!"

Essien outside the door was alerted by the court maid who was in charge of delivering the message, and he also cheered up.

In the past few years, he has also often entered the magic hyperbaric chamber. With the help of the Holy Spring of the Elf and various cultivation resources, he and Wilson became a magician by chance. The great magician, however, improved the energy and lifespan of the two of them a lot, so that they would not die of exhaustion at work.

Entering the imperial study room, looking at the documents all over the floor, he lowered his head to take a look, and a few key words in it made him breathe quickly.

He understands, His Majesty should understand too, maybe even better than him.

He is still very clear about the combat effectiveness of the imperial intelligence department.

Since the establishment of the empire, Anbe has contributed a lot.

"Tell me what's going on!"

Aslan didn't even greet Essien, and asked indifferently, "Don't tell me you don't know anything?"

Essien trembled and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! This is the old minister's dereliction of duty. Since four years ago, the Cleveland province has been independent. It's just that at that time, all parts of the empire were using troops, and the annual taxes were paid on time, and even increased year by year. , The old minister was confused and turned a blind eye to this, but he did not expect that it would lead to a catastrophe."

Aslan stared at Essien coldly, he really wanted to slap this old minister who followed him from scratch to death.

The province of Cleveland is not an exception, but has become the norm, especially the original grand dukes of the Kingdom of Cleveland and the Northern Federation, who have faintly planned to manage the province as their own territory.

If it weren't for the Cleveland province making things too big, and finally stabbing Wilson in front of him, he would still be in the dark.

The Security Bureau of the Second Empire has always been in charge of counter-espionage and spy work in the empire. It did not pay much attention to the monitoring of imperial officials. The information and documents on the ground were all found by the Security Bureau of the Second Empire from the people's conditions in various places. It can be seen how bad the situation in Cleveland Province is, and there are even many things that they don't even bother to do.

Aslan asked, "What are you going to do?"

Essien continued to prostrate on the ground, not even daring to lift his head, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

He had already guessed the emperor's plan, but today he had to cooperate and could no longer refuse the emperor like before.

As early as a few years ago, Aslan wanted to fill up the seven functional departments of the Anbu, and he also thought of the name, the Fifth Integrity Picket Bureau, which specializes in monitoring and arresting corruption and bribery cases of officials from all over the country.

But was rejected by Essien for various reasons.

As a minister of state, he is naturally aware of the unspoken rules, and it has become normal to use his position for profit. As long as it is not excessive, Essien has always turned a blind eye. There are certain business privileges for nobles, such as tax cuts, or preferential business policies.

However, there are very few nobles who can really rise from the market. In order to ensure the quality of life, most of them become local government officials.

Although the empire has vigorously developed education, the civil servants trained over the years have greatly eased the administrative pressure of the empire, but most of the power of upper officials is controlled by the old nobles.

So Essien is very clear that if he wants to rectify the administration of officials, he will go to war with all the old nobles. It is impossible for the Fifth Integrity Picket Bureau to be established. Essien is very clear about what kind of goods his younger generations are.

Once the Fifth Integrity Picket Bureau is established, they will be the first batch of officials to be dismissed.

"Minister, I suggest that His Majesty establish the Fifth Integrity Picket Bureau."
