Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

In his early years, Lin Yuan assisted in the management of local horse farms and accumulated rich practical experience.

Later, because of his outstanding talents, he was recommended to work in Yuanma Temple in the capital.

When Lin Yuan first arrived at Yuanma Temple in the capital, he faced a huge challenge.

At that time, the Enma Temple was divided into several factions, which were fighting each other and the management was chaotic.

Horse breeding and training have also been seriously affected.

Some old officials were even full of disdain and exclusion towards the young new official.

They made things difficult for Lin Yuan at work and refused to cooperate with him.

However, Lin Yuan was not intimidated by these difficulties.

On the one hand, he tried hard to understand the demands and conflicts of various forces and actively sought ways to reconcile them.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan went deep into the stable to check the condition of the horses personally.

It was discovered that the horses were raised in a poor environment and had an inadequate supply of feed, which led to a decline in their physical fitness.

After deciding to solve these practical problems first, he actively argued with higher authorities and applied for more funds to improve the facilities at the horse farm and increase feed supply.

When formulating a new management system, Lin Yuan encountered new resistance.

Officials with vested interests were worried that the new system would harm their interests and opposed it.

Relying on his solid knowledge of horse management and his responsible attitude towards the court, Lin Yuan patiently explained to them the benefits of the new system and illustrated it with actual data and cases.

Finally, thanks to Lin Yuan's efforts, the new system was implemented and the management of Yuanma Temple gradually got on track.

Due to his outstanding work performance, Lin Yuan was gradually promoted to the position of At least minister.

But he did not relax because of this. Instead, he participated more actively in the formulation of a number of management systems and horse breeding plans for the Yuanma Temple in the capital, and continued to breed excellent war horses for the court.

In this volatile court situation, it stands to reason that an official like Lin Yuan, who is usually hardworking and wholeheartedly devoted to the affairs of Yuanma Temple, should not be afraid of the sudden arrival of Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, the Jinyiwei led by Prince of Yan Zhu Di has always been responsible for punishing corrupt officials, and they are committed to maintaining the integrity of the court.

Officials who abide by the law and have made outstanding political achievements have always been highly respected, and it is absolutely impossible to embarrass a fourth-rank official of the Yuanma Temple for no reason.

Moreover, Lin Yuan worked diligently during his tenure at Yuanma Temple and was committed to improving the breeding and management of horses.

He provided solid guarantees for the court's military horses, and his political achievements were obvious to all his colleagues.

But things are unpredictable. Ever since Lin De, a ninth-rank official in the Music Bureau, was unexpectedly involved in the "Kunning Palace Assassination Case" that shocked the court and the public.

The entire court seemed to have been dropped with a heavy bomb, and the situation instantly became tense.

All the court officials with the surname Lin seemed to be caught in a shadow, and began to feel insecure.

They knew very well that the "Kunning Palace Assassination Case" was no ordinary case, but a shocking case that concerned the safety of the royal family.

Once you are involved in this case, it is like being stuck in a quagmire, and it is extremely difficult to escape.

Even if one behaves properly and does no wrong in daily life, one will inevitably suffer from groundless suspicion and scrutiny because of the association with this surname.

Lin Yuan was like this at the moment, even though he knew in his heart that he had a clear conscience.

However, the sudden arrival of Prince of Yan Zhu Di still made him feel nervous.

An inexplicable worry spread in Lin Yuan's heart.

The guard standing not far away saw Lin Yuan lose his composure and quickly reminded him, "Master Lin, Master Zhengqing is not in the government office now because he is inspecting the horse farm. You are the highest official of the Yuanma Temple in the capital.

His Royal Highness Prince Yan is already outside the door, and he has brought many personal soldiers with him. If no one comes out to greet him, it would be against etiquette!

If someone with ulterior motives were to use this to make a fuss, I'm afraid Lord Lin would be in big trouble!"

Lin Yuan came back to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat after being reminded by the guard.

After a brief moment of daze, he knew that there was no room for hesitation at this moment.

Lin Yuan quickly straightened his official uniform and put the documents that had fallen down into place with trembling hands, trying to calm his panicked mood.

Then Lin Yuan took a deep breath, tried to look calm, and walked towards the main gate of Yuanma Temple.

His pace was hurried but he tried to keep it steady, and every step seemed to be stepping on his tense nerves.

At this moment, the light in the main hall shines through the windows onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows, but Lin Yuan has no time to take care of these at the moment.

As Lin Yuan gradually approached the gate, the sound of horse hooves and the orderly footsteps of his personal soldiers outside became clearer and clearer, and each sound seemed to hit his heart hard.

Lin Yuan kept speculating in his heart about the purpose of Yan Wang Zhu Di's visit this time. Was it related to the horse affairs, or was it because he was involved in the "Kunning Palace Assassination Case"?
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Yuan's mind, but he could only bite the bullet and face the unknown situation.

However, when Lin Yuan arrived at the main hall door and just touched the door knocker with his hands, he felt the coolness of the metal spread through his whole body through his fingertips.

Lin Yuan, feeling uneasy, slowly pushed open the door of the main hall of Yuanma Temple.

The heavy door hinge turned, making a dull "creaking" sound.

In this quiet yet tense atmosphere, it seems particularly abrupt.

As soon as the door was opened a crack, Lin Yuan saw Zhu Di standing not far away.

Zhu Di looked solemn. His face, which usually exuded heroism and majesty, was now shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.

He pursed his lips tightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned down.

His brows were twisted into a deep "川" shape, and his eyes revealed an urgency that should not be underestimated.

Zhu Di leaned forward slightly, as if ready to pounce forward and ask something at any time.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the joints turned white from the force.

At this moment, Zhu Di's black tights were shaking slightly with the rise and fall of his chest, as if his heart was as surging as waves and could not be calmed down.

Behind Zhu Di, a group of personal soldiers stood in neat rows.

They all had serious expressions and glanced around vigilantly, creating a strong sense of oppression.

When Lin Yuan saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet to his heart.

He subconsciously straightened his body and wanted to bow, but found that his legs seemed to be nailed down and were somewhat out of control.

Lin Yuan finally managed to force a smile and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness Prince Yan, I wonder what you want to do when you come to Yuanma Temple this time?"

Zhu Di looked at Lin Yuan, who looked terrified, and said with a frown, "I came to Yuanma Temple to find Lord Lin. I want to ask you where is the warhorse that my father promised to give me now?"

Although Lin Yuan had never heard of the imperial edict issued to Lin Zhengyuan, the Minister of the Imperial Academy, he was very clear that he must not be ignorant of the questions at this time, otherwise it would inevitably affect his future career development.

“Your Highness Prince Yan, Lord Zhengqing has already personally gone to the stable to select the warhorse you requested.

Judging from the approximate time, he should be on his way back.

Why don't you go to the main hall and have a cup of tea first, and then we can sit down and wait for a while?" (End of this chapter)
