The most annoying thing is when the king dies, on the same turn his oldest hier turns 16, when that hier sucks. Suddenly all those younger brothers for the king stops being in the royal line and the new king will affect the quality of his brothers. It can ruin several generations of breeding if you're unlucky.
As elbasto said, high influence increases the chances of getting a better hiers, while low influence can really ruin them.
Assassination works well, as attacking with your king in larger empires gives loyalty problems. Best way is to letting the lousy crown prince have an accident before he ascends to the throne.
