But the people obviously have complete faith in him, if he truly replaced anyone who stood up against him, why wouldn't he just do that to anyone who questions his legitimacy? Not to mention how he seems to have complete interest in doing what he says, fighting the Thalmor. He wouldn't be nearly as quick to doing that if he truly just wanted to be king.

One person says that, not everyone. If Torygg knew anything about Ulfric he knew he wanted him the succeed from the Empire, if Torygg had any interest in doing this, he would've done it already. Also Sybille contradicts herself when she says that, by claming Torygg didn't do it for some Imperial propaganda reasons.

Because I don't see any evidence at all of Ulfric just wanting to be High King.
