Personally, I don't agree that the Dragonborn should become Emporer if Mede dies, because he is the one who killed them (if they completed the Dark Brotherhood Quest). Meded wasn't hated enough to have to be killed, so if his killer were to sit on the throne, and then the populace found out, there could be chaos.
