晉高祖為河東節度使，以希堯為判官。 When Shi Jingtang was military commissioner of Hedong, he appointed Xiyao his administrative aide.

高祖軍屯忻州，軍中有擁高祖呼萬歲者，高祖惶惑，不知所為。 Shi Jingtang's army was encamped at Xinzhou when some soldiers began shouting "Long live the emperor"; he was alarmed and unsure how to respond.

高祖將舉兵太原，與其賓佐謀，希堯以為不可，高祖雖不聽，然重其為人，不責之也。 When Shi Jingtang was about to raise troops at Taiyuan and consulted his staff, Xiyao advised against it; though Jingtang did not listen, he still respected Xiyao's character and did not reproach him.

高祖入立，希堯比諸將吏，恩澤最薄。 After Jingtang took the throne, Xiyao received fewer rewards than any of the generals and officials.
