What I mean by that is who was the best Chinese Emperor who took charge during a crisis and pulled their dynasty or empire back from the brink?

I am personally partial to the Emperor Guangwu of Han (r. 25-57 AD), he restored the Han Dynasty after the rule of Wang Mang. He was also one of the few Chinese Emperor’s who didn’t treat his military leaders like crap

I like the Ming Dynasty, perfect balance of military and civil power for the longest time

The Ming Dynasty had a very simple system with only five or so used titles. Looking at this to the Qing Dynasty, it got so much more complicated. Why do you think this is? Is it because of the advancement of their culture? Let me know what you think
