Everytime in the absence of the Emperor, the Elder Council was pretty much the ones who rule Tamriel. Do you honestly believe that the Alessian, Reman and Septim bloodline has truly died off and there's no one who is actually worthy of wearing the Amulet of Kings (AKA worthy of ruling the Empire) even if the Amulet has lost its power?

Considering there are times the Empire was without an Emperor and it had not fallen apart due to the Elder Council plus Titus Mede I's crowning seemed more like they had no choice and the second one looked like an ideal puppet Emperor.... then you have Elder Council member wanting to assassinate Titus Mede II...

I believe the Elder Council was running things for a pretty long time and they are not planning to let an Emperor rule over them anymore... So... The Elder Council is becoming self-suficient and they think that they do not need an emperor to interfere in their plans... Right?
