會契丹回圖使喬榮北歸，侍衛親軍都指揮使景延廣謂榮曰：「先朝是契丹所立，嗣君乃中國自冊，稱孫可矣，稱臣未可。 When the Khitan envoy Qiao Rong was returning north, Palace Guard Commander Jing Yanguang told him, "Your court made our former emperor. This successor was enthroned by China itself. He may call himself your grandson, but not your subject.

榮至本國，具言其事，德光大怒，會青州楊光遠叛，遣使構之。 Rong reported every word at home. Deguang was enraged. When Yang Guangyuan rebelled in Qingzhou, Deguang sent envoys to encourage him.
