Biography
鄂王瑤，既封，遙領幽州都督、河北節度大使。開元二十三年，與榮、光、儀、潁、永、壽、延、盛、濟、信、義十一王並授開府儀同三司，實封二千戶。詔詣東宮、尚書省，上日百官集送，有司供張設樂。是日，悉拜王府官屬，然未有府也，而選任冒濫，時不以為榮。
Yao, Prince of E, after his enfeoffment was made Area Commander-in-chief of Youzhou and Grand Military Commissioner of Hebei in absentia. In the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan he, together with the eleven Princes of Rong, Guang, Yi, Ying, Yong, Shou, Yan, Sheng, Ji, Xin and Yi, was appointed Commander Unequalled in Honour, with an actual fief of two thousand households. An edict sent them to the Eastern Palace and the Department of State Affairs; on the day they took up office all the officials gathered to see them off, and the officials in charge set up tents and provided music. On that day all the officers and staff of the princely establishments were appointed, though there were as yet no establishments, and the choice of appointees was so loose and excessive that people at the time did not think it an honour.
