及令言至京師，所統兵叛，上幸奉天，河清與況聞之，乃集三軍大哭，因共激勵將吏，誓敦誠節，眾頗義之。 When Yao Lingyan reached the capital, the troops under his command rebelled and the emperor proceeded to Fengtian. Feng Heqing and Yao Kuang heard the news, gathered the three armies, and wept aloud. Together they roused the officers, swearing to uphold loyal integrity, and the troops largely approved.
