Appears in 5 chapters:

Chapter 8 — Wang Yun Prepares The Chaining Scheme; Dong Zhuo Rages At Phoenix Pavilion.
Cited in Wang Yun's astrology speech as the sage emperor Shun succeeded - the bait that makes Dong Zhuo promise Wang Yun 'first in merit' when Heaven's decree devolves on him.
Chapter 23 — Mi Heng Slips His Garment And Rails At Traitors; Ji Ping Pledges To Kill The Prime Minister.
Cited with Shun in Mi Heng's boast of what a properly-employed genius could make of a prince.
Chapter 80 — Cao Pi Deposes The Emperor, Taking Away The Fortunes of Han; Liu Bei Assumes The Throne, Continuing The Heritage.
The sage-king whose yielding to Shun is every usurper's favorite precedent — cited in the deputation's speech, both declarations, and the terrace manifesto.
Chapter 100 — Raiding A Camp, The Shu Soldiers Defeat Cao Zhen; Contesting Array Battles, Zhuge Liang Shames Sima Yi.
Alluded to in Sima Yi's legitimacy argument at River Wei, as the model abdication: Wei's accession was 'after the manner of King Yao, who abdicated in favor of King Shun'.
Chapter 105 — The Lord of Wuxiang Leaves A Plan In The Silken Bag; The Ruler of Wei Removes The Bronze Statue With The Dew Bowl.
Cited twice in Yang Fu's memorial as the model of frugal rule: 'King Yao preferred his humble thatched cottage, and all the world enjoyed tranquillity', and again in the roll of good examples - 'Your Majesty has the examples of Kings Yao, Yu, Shun, and Tang on the one hand.'
