How is 置く used here?


A dialogue between a monk and a shogun (fiction), fragment for context:

> Shogun: 「生きておれば死を望み、死に果てれば生を望む……全く、御坊に言われるまでもない。
> 人の心の働きというのは本当に勝手なものよ。どこまでも満足せぬように出来ておる」
>
> Monk: 「であればこそ、人は満足を求めてあがき、自らを高めるのでござる。
> 満ち足りた人間は木石も同然、悟りの境地ではござるが、世の役には立ち申さぬ。殿がかような生き仏になっては御国の大事。 いや、勝手な言い草おおいに結構！ 殿
> **におかれては** どうか今後とも、自侭になさってくださりませい！」

Is putting におかれては instead of just に makes it more of a honorific expression?
Or is the meaning entirely different?




From [大辞泉](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/166252/m0u/):

> ### に‐おい‐て【に×於て】
>
> **３** （多くは下に「は」を伴って）上の人物・事柄を強く指示する意を表す。…こそ。

This usage does carry some honorific weight, but perhaps more importantly it
puts emphasis on what you're talking about, as opposed to something else.

> 殿 **は** どうか今後とも、自侭になさってくださりませい

_You My Lord, keep doing as you wish_

> 殿 **におかれては** どうか今後とも、自侭になさってくださりませい

_As for you My Lord, keep doing as you wish_

The connotation here being that, nirvana may be wonderful for some people, but
not for the shogun. Therefore, _as for_ him, he may continue being self-
centered.
