Story:
During Emperor Xuan's reign in the Han Dynasty, Wang Ji from Langya and Gong Yu were close friends. Gong Yu had been dismissed from office multiple times, and Wang Ji was also struggling in his official career.
When Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, Wang Ji was summoned to serve as an imperial counselor (jìanyì dàfū).
Gong Yu was delighted to hear this news, so he took out his official's cap, dusted it off, and prepared to wear it.
Sure enough, not long after, Gong Yu was also appointed as an imperial counselor.
