[Ezra bursts into mildly hysterical laughter. Thrawn thought he could outlive the Emperor and makes reforms. Amazing. Incredibly stupid, in his opinion, and infuriating, but amazing.
He lefts that sit for a while. Goes and does some katas to burn off the tangle of emotions at this revelation. Comes back.]
I genuinely don't believe Sidious had any intention of dying and staying dead. That seems absurd, I'm sure, but he is a Sith Master. I've heard accounts of two different versions of the future where his spirit lingered, and attempted to return to a body - with varying degrees of success. I'm afraid I don't have many details. He doesn't restore the Empire to its former strength, in either version, at any rate.
For the record, I've also heard accounts of Sith in the old Empire living a very, very long time.
I hope at some point you might be willing to tell me more about your actual long term aims.
Vader died the same day as the Emperor. He took lethal hits in his attack against his master. I was told this directly from Vader's son by blood, the same Jedi who destroyed the Death Star, who was there for the confrontation.
Sidious tried to persuade Vader's son to join them. When he refused, Sidious decided to kill him instead. In that moment, desire for his son to live trumped Vader's fear and loyalty.
