The Longqing Emperor was the 12th emperor of China's Ming Dynasty. During his brief reign, he is said to have been rather cold and inactive in his interactions with officials, allowing them to make pronouncements for him at audiences where he simply sat, all but unmoving, or simply did not hold the audience at all.
He was succeeded by his son, who took the throne as the Wanli Emperor.
