Story:
During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, Wang Ji from Langya and Gong Yu were close friends. Gong Yu had been dismissed from office several times, and Wang Ji also had an unsuccessful official career.
When Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, Wang Ji was summoned to serve as an Imperial Censor (Jianyi Dafu). Upon hearing this news, Gong Yu was very happy. He took out his official cap, dusted it off, and prepared to wear it.
Indeed, not long after, Gong Yu was also appointed as an Imperial Censor.
