In fact, I can get an unbiased opinion that Tyrogg was Imperial leaning.

Sayma said this;

"And between you and me? He wasn't even that good a king. All of those rambling speeches about the Empire this, and the Empire that.."

And what truly does the Empire get if they conquer Skyrim? A lot of Nords that hate their guts and sure as heck won't fight for them. "Conquer Skyrim"? It's always been part of the Empire, I think you mean "what truly does the Empire get if they keep Skyrim in the Empire", and the answer is... the same thing Ulfric will get if he seceeds Skyrim: half the population will adore him, the other half will hate him. Or more likely 33% love, 33% hate, 33% don't care either way.

And I don't think anyone would ever deny Torygg was Imperial-leaning :P
