帝聞光軍營已逼，心甚惡之，急令舍人追光入見，然後宣勞散兵。 When the emperor heard that Guang's army camp was already pressing close, he was deeply displeased and urgently ordered a palace attendant to summon Guang for an audience; only then were the troops rewarded and dismissed.

帝賜提婆晉陽之田，光言於朝曰：「此田神武帝以來常種禾，飼馬數千匹，以擬寇難，今賜提婆，無乃闕軍務也？」 The emperor bestowed on Tipo fields at Jinyang. Guang said at court, "These fields since the Shenwu Emperor have always been sown with grain to feed several thousand horses against enemy raids. To give them to Tipo now — will this not cripple military affairs?"
