In p>142 (four years of Jianwen), Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, which was the ancestor of Ming Dynasty. Yao Guangxiao was appointed as Zuo Shanshi, the monk's recorder. After the ancestor became the emperor, he was awarded the title of Zuo Shanyi, the monk and recorder.

in p>144 (the second year of Yongle), Yao Guangxiao paid homage to Dr. Zishan and Prince Shao Shi, and took Yao as his surname, giving him the name Guangxiao. Every time Ming Chengzu talked with Yao Guangxiao, he called him Shao Shi, not by his first name.

Later, Ming Chengzu ordered Yao Guangxiao to store hair and return to the common customs, but Yao Guangxiao refused. Ming Chengzu also gave him a mansion and a maid-in-waiting, but Yao Guangxiao still refused to accept it. He just lived in a temple, put on royal clothes when he went to court, and changed back to monk's clothes after he left the court. When he went to Su Hu for disaster relief, he went to Cheung Chau and gave all the gold he would receive to the clan villagers.

After that, Ming Chengzu traveled between Nanjing and Beijing, and conquered Mongolia several times. Yao Guangxiao stayed in Nanjing to assist Prince Zhu Gaochi in supervising the country. In 147 (the fifth year of Yongle), Yao Guangxiao was ordered to teach Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's eldest grandson.
