宋光宗
“Mentally ill, and kept from his own father's funeral by his wife”
His reign was effectively his empress's. Li Fengniang isolated him, killed a concubine and sent him her severed hands, and prevented him from attending the retired emperor's funeral — at which point the ministers arranged an abdication and put his son on the throne.
He lived another six years in a side palace, reportedly never told that he was no longer emperor.
Li Fengniang has a painting of her own in the collection.
