Before Wei Yuanzhong was beheaded, the emperor ordered him to be pardoned. Why did he say that the imperial edict was false?

Wei was wrongly imprisoned for being framed. However, on the day of execution, Wu Zetian didn't want to kill him, so he pardoned Wei by decree. Wei thinks there is fraud. If he accepts the imperial edict, if it is false, it is not his own sin. So Wei claimed that the imperial edict was false, and Wei didn't take over the imperial edict until the soldiers who announced it repeatedly confirmed to Wei that the imperial edict was true.

Wei was originally a civilian in the Tang Dynasty and had no intention of becoming an official in the DPRK. Until one day, I met a fortune-teller Wei. The fortune-teller thought Wei had an official position and suggested that Wei should serve in the imperial court. But Wei didn't know how to get the opportunity to be an official in North Korea, so the fortune teller asked Wei to write to the emperor to create opportunities. So Wei wrote down his views on the war at that time and presented them to Wu Zetian according to what he learned.

Wu Zetian met Wei? A letter of ten thousand words? Later, he felt that this man was thoughtful and thoughtful, so he sent someone to recruit Wei as an official, and Wei became a big official in the court. Wei Yuanzhong knew that everything he owned was given by Wu Zetian, so he worked very hard in the imperial court and never bent the law, so Wu Zetian valued him very much. However, Wei also made many people feel afraid in loyalty and honesty. Many officials impeached Wei and framed him because Wei was in the way.

Wu Zetian saw that so many officials were impeaching Wei Yuanzhong. At that time, she was credulous, put Wei in prison and was beheaded. Wei was very angry after being arrested, and it was really wrong to think that he was innocent and innocent. On the day of execution, Wei had been guillotined. At this time, an imperial edict came that Wei would be pardoned. Wei Yuanzhong did not believe that the imperial edict was true. He thought it was forged by his enemy to frame himself, so he refused to accept it. However, the soldier who sent the imperial edict insisted that it was written by Wu Zetian and asked Wei Yuanzhong to check whether it was true. Wei Yuanzhong accepted the imperial edict only after he confirmed it was correct.
