宰相韋貽範母喪，詔還位，偓當草制，上言：「貽範處喪未數月，遽使視事，傷孝子心。 When Chancellor Wei Yifan was in mourning for his mother, an edict ordered him back to office. Wo was to draft the appointment edict and memorialized, "Yifan has been in mourning only a few months. To hurry him back to office wounds the heart of a filial son.

陛下誠惜貽範才，俟變缞而召可也。 If Your Majesty truly values Yifan's talent, you may summon him after he has completed the period of hemp mourning.

既而帝畏茂貞，卒詔貽範還相，洎代草麻。 Before long the emperor, fearing Maozhen, at last issued an edict restoring Yifan to the chancellorship, and Ji drafted the appointment edict in Wo's place.
