是時，成帝外家王氏衰廢，唯平阿侯譚子去疾，哀帝為太子時為庶子得幸，及即位，為侍中、騎都尉。 The Wangs who had dominated under Chengdi were spent; only Wang Quji, son of Marquis Tan of Ping'a, who had won favor as a shuzi cadet while Ai was heir apparent, rose with him to palace attendant and commandant of cavalry.

太后曰：「新都侯莽前以大司馬奉送先帝大行，曉習故事，吾令莽佐君。」 She said, "Wang Mang of Xindu once ran the late emperor's obsequies as grand marshal; he knows the rites. Let him help you."
