望之以問門下生朱雲。 He turned to his disciple Zhu Yun for counsel.

雲者好節士，勸望之自裁。 Yun, a man who honored uncompromising heroes, urged suicide.

字謂雲曰：「游，趣和藥來，無久留我死！」 Addressing Zhu Yun by his courtesy name, Wangzhi said, "You, hurry and bring the poison. Do not keep me waiting to die!"

初，成帝性寬，進入直言，是以王音、翟方進等繩法舉過，而劉向、杜鄴、王章、朱雲之徒肆意犯上，故自帝師安昌侯，諸舅大將軍兄弟及公卿大夫、後宮外屬史許之家有貴寵者，莫不被文傷詆。 Cheng's easy temper invited blunt speech, so ministers such as Wang Yin and Zhai Fangjin policed the law while scholars like Liu Xiang, Du Ye, Wang Zhang, and Zhu Yun flayed the throne; from the imperial tutor the marquis of Anchang through the Wang uncles and every powerful consort kin of the Shi and Xu lines, no favorite escaped their written attacks.

〈徐众评曰：是仪以羁旅异方，客仕吴朝，值谗邪殄行，当严毅之威，命县漏刻，祸急危机，不雷同以害人，不苟免以伤义，可谓忠勇公正之士，虽祁奚之免叔向，庆忌之济硃云，何以尚之？〈Xu Zhong praises him as a stranger in Wu who, when slander threatened an innocent life, refused to parrot lies or save his skin at the cost of honor—loyal, brave, and just, rivaling the finest exemplars of old.
