楊榮嘗毀義。 Yang Rong once spoke ill of Jian Yi.

帝不直榮。 The Emperor did not take Rong's side.

義頓首言：「榮無他。 Jian Yi kowtowed and said, "Rong means no harm.

帝以義、原吉、士奇、榮四人者皆已老，賜璽書曰：「卿等皆祖宗遺老，畀輔朕躬。 Seeing that Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Rong were all advanced in years, the Emperor bestowed an imperial letter: "You are all surviving elders left by our ancestors, entrusted to assist me.

楊榮首勸帝親征。 Yang Rong was the first to urge the Emperor to take the field in person.

榮策善。」 Rong's plan is sound."

義善謀，榮善斷，而原吉與士奇尤持大體，有古大臣風烈。 Jian Yi excelled at planning, Yang Rong at decision, while Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi especially upheld the larger pattern, with the bearing of great ministers of antiquity.
