It is not like Emperor really enjoys doing that, Emperor and Imperials have little choice if they want to rebuild Cyrodil and to be ready for the next war with Aldmeri Dominion. I am sure that Emperor is pained by the fact that Thalmor have to be allowed to kill and arrest Talos worshipers. The weight of his guilt is so great is that he completely resolved to be killed by Dark Brotherhood Listener. In the way, he is ready to sacrafice himself for Tamriel. If one would just stand and hear him out before killing him, you might actually feel sorry for the old man and would feel only too glad to fulfill his final wish to kill that that Breton member of the Elder Council, who ordered the assassination probably in hopes of usurping the throne. (Bad Alexandros! You should have listened to the Imperial Majesty, instead of using your Nightingale power of Strife on him. Alexandros in his Dark Brotherhood days was a unique assassin in the sense of that he barely used his weapons for assassinations. He would come up close enough and would use his Power of Strife that would kill any unnarmored target.
