生有躄疾，太祖謂不堪奉拜祭祀，欲封其弟，世祖諫，乃以遙光襲爵。 Born lame, he was judged by Emperor Gao unfit to perform sacrificial worship; the emperor wished to enfeoff his younger brother instead, but Emperor Wu remonstrated, and Yaoguang was allowed to inherit the title.

上以親近單少，憎忌高、武子孫，欲竝誅之，遙光計畫參議，當以次施行。 Finding his own close kin few in number, the emperor resented the descendants of the Gao and Wu lines and wished to execute them all; Yaoguang helped plan the killings, to be carried out in sequence.
