'''Emperor Hongli''' (18 March 1895 - 22 September 1948) was the twelfth and last emperor of the Qian dynasty to rule over [[Corumm]]. His reign lasted from 1938 to 1946, having succeeded his father Emperor Zhishun after the latters death. Ascending to the throne during the height of the [[Second Great War]], he continued his predecessors anti-Levantine policies and pushed for continued participation in the war. Corummese failure to achieve its major war goals, the rapidly deteriorating economic situation and the rising agitation of socialist forces caused the army led by general [[Dai Hanjian]] to carry out a coup in 1946. Dubbed the Glorious Revolt, it marked the end of the Qian dynasty and of the millenarian rule of Corumm by monarchs. Hongli was placed under house arrest until 1948 when he died of complications of diabetes; his teenage son and heir died soon after in unclear circumstances. Hongli's royal consort, Princess Keuto of [[Metzetta]] was allowed to depart back to her homeland with two of the emperor's daughters after renouncing any imperial pretenses on their behalf. | '''Emperor Hongli''' (18 March 1895 - 22 September 1948) was the twelfth and last emperor of the Qian dynasty to rule over [[Corumm]].

Modern evaluations of Hongli see him as an ineffective leader too fixated in the war that dominated the early part of his reign, allowing internal events to spiral out of control and destroy the monarchy. | ||
