No.
Many events occur inside the empire that you have not yet learned. They
will never be known to outsiders, and especially to enemies like the Orlanthi.
To quote the Campign Snopsis (a book we are working on):
"The emperor seems indolent, and in 1628 the High Priestess of the HonEel
cult gets the drunkard to agree to be her human sacrifice for the year. He
doesn't return; the egi are distressed. Enemies send raiders, take
advanage. Dart Competitors get active, rivalries are pushed, and there are
darts on the moon. A new order is established."

Other Emperors arise.
Certain events int he campaign require his presence.
It will be just a matter of "which emperor is this?"
Argrath is not the only world leader that is going to have problems with
his staff.
