縱有姊，以醫幸王太后。 Yi Zong's sister was a physician who caught the eye of Empress Dowager Wang.

姊曰：「有弟無行，不可。」 The woman answered, "I have a younger brother, but his conduct is poor—he would not do."

太后乃告上，上拜義姁弟縱為中郎，補上黨郡中令。 The dowager then informed the emperor, who appointed Yi Xu's younger brother, Yi Zong, as a gentleman of the palace and posted him as interior chief of Shangdang.
