EMPEROR WANLI

The longest-ruling emperor of the Ming Dynasty in China, Wanli came to power at the age of 9 in 1572 and appears to have flamed out rather early. During the last 30 years or so of his 47-year rule, Emperor Wanli descended into a life of food, drink and debauchery, becoming so obese in his later years that he needed assistance just to stand up. He almost entirely neglected state affairs, refusing to read reports, leaving ministers to have audiences with an empty throne and failing to attend public ceremonies, including his mother’s funeral.
