Do you not want to interrogate the Khajiit or the dealer or anyone else?

Yeah, I did. I've edited it. You offer them help, the Imperial Legion being one of those that help.

People can change, you could die before your reign ends, someone could usurp you, running the metaphorical boat aground next to the forest isn't quite the same, they still can't completely trust your judgement - you're good, but not omniscient, Stalhrim would still be used for war which is bad, the soldiers you give it to may be more loyal to the Emperor they don't know than you - many a reason here.
