My example was purely to show the mechanics of an Imperial County. I did not intend it to be seen as circumventing IC negotiations.
As for the advice to Becker, I had Jan give that in the beginning of the cataclysm. As for what advice Alfgarda gives, that depends on how tethered I want to make her to Jan's old plots. I don't want to play the same character with a new skin but I do want to stay "plugged in" into some of the "meta-plots" that Jan was part of.
You can assume that Jan left Alfgarda with a massive amount of knowledge about the politics of the Diet. How Alfgarda will use that information is to be determined.
I'm not the only one that has used a new character to further an old character's plots. OK used Elsebeth to link Matthias to Otto's agenda. Gibson has had Peter carry out Erhart von Mahren's agenda. Cecil has had Becker tied pretty tightly to Sigismund's plots. GH admitted he had Dassel kill Hans partly because of something that happened to Jens. Elberhard has continued some of Henry's stories such as Dusan.
I figure having a new avatar gives you an opportunity to start fresh or stay plugged into meta-plots.
