遙光旣輔政，見少主卽位，潛與江祏兄弟謀自樹立。 Once Yaoguang was regent and saw the young emperor enthroned, he secretly plotted with the Jiang Shi brothers to seize power for himself.

江祏被誅，東昏侯召遙光入殿，告以祏罪，遙光懼，還省便陽狂號哭，自此稱疾不復入臺。 When Jiang Shi was executed, the Marquis of Donghun summoned Yaoguang to the hall and told him of Shi's crimes. Yaoguang, terrified, returned to his office and at once feigned madness, wailing aloud; from then on he claimed illness and never again entered the Secretariat.

帝誅江祏後，慮遙光不自安，欲轉爲司徒還第，召入喻旨。 After executing Jiang Shi, the emperor feared Yaoguang would feel insecure and wished to transfer him to Grand Minister of Works and send him home; he summoned him to explain his intent.
