宣帝時修武帝故事，講論六藝群書，博盡奇異之好，徵能為楚辭九江被公，召見誦讀，益召高材劉向、張子僑、華龍、柳褒等待詔金馬門。 Under Emperor Xuan the court revived Emperor Wu's cultural program: debate on the Six Classics and the wider corpus, a restless taste for the rare and marvelous. It summoned Bei Gong of Jiujiang, famed for his Chu-style verse, heard him recite, and then added brilliant men such as Liu Xiang, Zhang Ziqiao, Hua Long, and Liu Bao to the roster of scholars awaiting summons at the Golden Horse Gate.

顯、恭恐望之自訟，下於它吏，即挾朋及待詔華龍。 Shi Xian and Hong Gong feared that Wangzhi would defend himself and the case would be handed to other officials. They therefore pressured Peng and Hua Long, another man awaiting imperial summons, into acting against him.

龍者，宣帝時與張子蟜等待詔，以行汙濊不進，欲入堪等，堪等不納，故與朋相結。 Hua Long had once awaited summons with Zhang Zijiao and others under Emperor Xuan; his foul conduct blocked advancement, and when Zhou Kan's circle refused him he allied with Peng.

恭、顯令二人告望之等謀欲罷車騎將軍疏退許、史狀，候望之出休日，令朋、龍上之。 Hong Gong and Shi Xian had the two accuse Wangzhi and his allies of plotting to remove General Shi Gao and of memorializing to oust the Xu and Shi clans; they waited for Wangzhi's day off and had Peng and Long submit the charge.
