That's actually the major sub-plot of Dune by Frank Herbert: The bad guy installs one son as planetery dictator who is a real prick, just so he can have his other son "rescue" everybody.

Ah, Dune, my favorite novel of all time. For me it was so good that it ruined other sci-fi novels for me. I've read it at least six times.
