Say a emperoror decides to visit a kingdom and orders the king to vacate their throne and allow the emperor to sit upon it. for as long as he was in the kingdom’s capital Would the king be bound to listen to his “king”? Could the emperor, as the king’s ruler, overrule any of the king’s rulings as per his wish? Say the king wanted to avoid war with a neighboring country but the emperor wanted it, who would the people listen to?

There is no single answer to the question. The concept of a strict Emperor/King hierarchy is an oversimplification of history. In reality, the answer depends on which emperor, on which king, in what part of the world, and during what time period.
