要离 / Yao Li
要离 / Yao Li enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》119-1｜拆解荆轲刺秦必败的秘密 as one of the assassin figures classified by 扬雄. The episode cites Yang Xiong to distinguish deaths that may look fierce, loyal, or memorable from conduct that deserves the name义.
The source gives only a typological use. Yao Li is not developed biographically here; he is paired with 聂政 and 荆轲 so that Yang Xiong can deny that celebrated assassin deaths are automatically righteous.
