- Yet, though you have exhausted your strength and put forth the utmost loyalty in the service of our sage emperor, though you have piled up days and persisted for a long time, your rank does not exceed palace attendant, your post is no more than that of lance-bearer! I wonder, is it because there is still some action you have failed to perform?
