始安王遙光反，其夜，遣三百人於宅掩取文季，欲以爲都督，而文季已還臺。 When Prince Yaoguang of Shian rebelled, that same night he sent three hundred men to Wenji's residence to seize him by surprise, intending to make him commander-in-chief, but Wenji had already returned to the Secretariat.

永元元年，始安王遙光起兵東府，執昭略於城內。 In the first year of Yongyuan Prince Yaoguang of Shi'an raised troops at the Eastern Palace and seized Zhaolue inside the city.
