"The suffering the empire will endure in the future will be extraordinary, and I am well aware of the feelings of you, my subjects. However, as the times dictate, I am determined to endure what is unbearable and bear what is unbearable, so as to ensure lasting peace for all generations."
"I am able to uphold the national system by relying on the sincerity of you loyal subjects and always stand with you. However, if you are swayed by emotions and recklessly cause trouble, or if fellow countrymen exclude each other and disrupt the situation, thereby deviating from the right path and losing credibility in the world, this is something I deeply warn against."
