Especially Empress Dowager Sun, she felt a little dizzy.
My cousin represents the Sun family.
Actually directly...
As for Wei Yunyi, after a brief moment of daze, he quickly realized that the empress dowager's cousin was a talented person!
Not only does he have shifty eyes, but he's also capable of such a grand gesture. How impressive! Why not test him and see if he's any good at being a traitor?
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said with a smile: "No need to be like this. You are the Queen Mother's cousin, so you can be considered a royal relative. If you were in the common people, you would be considered my uncle. In the future, let's skip this kind of gift."
Wei Yunyi meant this sincerely. If he had to perform the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows every time he met the other person, he would not be able to adapt.
However, Sun Kejian smiled and said directly, "Your Majesty is very kind. Even with the Queen Mother's relationship, I am just an ordinary citizen. When meeting the current emperor, I must follow the rules and perform all the necessary etiquette."
"Also, I feel that because of your majesty's imperial power, my performance of this ceremony was not done properly. I must do it again!"
After saying that, he actually knelt down again.
But in the end, the ceremony was not carried out due to the Queen Mother's obstruction.
Wei Yunyi, in particular, made a strong request, saying that there was really no need to do so, just be casual.
However, it was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but have other opinions about the Queen Mother's cousin.
He can say nice things, has a smooth tongue, and kneels down at every turn.
He is simply a talent.
And Sun Kejian.
He also has a good impression of Wei Yunyi.
As soon as they met, she didn't mind his identity as a businessman.
He also took the initiative to build closer relations. He is definitely a benevolent monarch. Maybe if I just put it forward, I can get the official position.
At this moment, the two of them had these different ideas, and suddenly, they felt like they were old friends.
However, Wang Jin, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly at this moment.
He felt that the Queen Mother's cousin was very good at speaking.
It is also because of your Majesty's imperial majesty that the ceremony was not performed properly.
Why didn’t I think of this at the beginning? I have to learn it, I must learn it!
As he thought about it, Wang Jin carefully observed the other person's behavior and felt that he must write it down carefully.
As for Empress Dowager Sun, she was speechless.
Looking at his cousin, he felt that the Sun family had lost all its face, but fortunately, it was in front of the emperor, so it didn't seem to be a big deal.
Meanwhile, Wei Yunyi also came to his senses and looked at Sun Kejian in front of him. He asked, "Besides visiting the Queen Mother, do you have any other business in the palace this time?"
The other party is only the cousin of Empress Dowager Sun, not a direct relative, so he certainly cannot be called the emperor's uncle.
"Yes! Of course not!"
Sun Kejian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Your Majesty, I came here because I want to be an official, but the Queen Mother said that I am not a member of the imperial examination system, so I cannot be an official!"
Beside her, Empress Dowager Sun was speechless. She had never expected that her cousin would actually directly ask His Majesty about becoming an official...
But she was not worried, thinking that given the emperor's personality, he would never agree to this.
Sun Kejian wants to be an official?
Wei Yunyi was a little caught off guard by these words, and was just about to say something.
But soon, he suddenly remembered something. In the original novel, it seemed that there was a cousin of Empress Dowager Sun who chose to leave his family and come to the capital to seek an official position because he was not good at business.
However, the original owner had always been wary of the Sun family and didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
Empress Dowager Sun also seemed reluctant to have her own clansmen serve as officials in the court.
In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
As for the cousin who was seeking an official position.
He also returned to Yan and inherited the family business.
However, because he had no interest in business, the Sun family suffered huge losses after a few years.
This also indirectly affected the later rebellion of Prince Yan. After all, in a war, apart from people, the most important thing is money. Without money, nothing can be done.
Thinking of this, Wei Yunyi looked at Sun Kejian in front of him again, and suddenly thought of something.
Could this be the same cousin of Empress Dowager Sun who was seeking an official position?
Yes! Absolutely!
After all, there are too few direct descendants of the Sun family now. If it’s not him, who else could it be?
Suddenly, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was not just a talent, but a great talent.
Just imagine, even hundreds of years of foundation of the Sun family could decline in the hands of this person. If he were to become an official, wouldn't it be easy to ruin their fortune?
Wei Yunyi also thought of one thing, which was Sun Kejian’s reaction and the way he spoke just now.
It can be considered as the utmost flattery, coupled with this shifty look.
He is a complete traitor!
Need it!
Must use it well!
The more he thought about it, the happier Wei Yunyi became.
I had been worrying about not being able to find a suitable traitor these past few days, but I didn't expect that one would appear right at my doorstep today!
He immediately composed himself, a smile flickering across his eyes. He then said, "Oh? I didn't expect you'd still want to become an official and serve the country. That's great, very good. However, the imperial court has the Censorate, the Supreme Court, and the Six Ministries. Where do you want to go?"
These words stunned Empress Dowager Sun, who had originally thought that her cousin had no hope of getting an official position.
From what the emperor said, he agreed to this matter?
But...but this doesn't make sense?
Wasn't the emperor the most wary of the Sun family before? Why is he giving in now and seems to be looking forward to it?
