The assassin refuses to kill the emperor because he is persuaded that the emperor is the best hope for China and will bring peace and rule fairly by law. Consequently, he (and the emperor) believes the emperor must enforce the law and execute him for the attempted assassination: he dies willingly for his belief in justice and the emperor.
