燕王遣壽西長、孫縱之等賂遺長公主、丁外人、謁者杜延年、大將軍長史公孫遺等，交通私書，共謀令長公主置酒，伏兵殺大將軍光，徵立燕王為天子，大逆毋道。 King Yan sent Shou Xichang, Sun Zongzhi, and others to bribe and give gifts to the Elder Princess, Ding Wai, Usher Du Yannian, the Grand General's Chief Secretary Gongsun Yi, and others. They communicated with private letters and together plotted to have the Elder Princess host a wine banquet with ambush troops to kill Grand General Guang, and summon and establish King Yan as Son of Heaven - a great rebellion against the proper way.
