Best emperor in a chinese drama?

I'm a big fan of historical cdramas, especially palace cdramas. 

I wonder in what cdramas everyones favourite emperor is in.  Great acting, terrifying at times, and all those qualities that make an emperor.

For me this is the list:

#1: The Rise of Phoenixes    

#2: Story of Yanxi Palace    

#3: Nirvana in Fire   

Ming Dynasty in 1566 - When I say best emperor I mean in terms of acting skills, not leadership ability.  The emperor gets a lot of screentime, so there's some good character development, and he behaves in a believable way (at least most of the time).

I second Rise  of the Phoenixes and Nirvana in Fire. Also in Royal Nirvana the emperor is a very interesting character as is his relationship with his son ( but it's a heavy drama)

I actually forget the best emperor, but it's from a korean drama, still maybe it counts because the story is from China:

Empress Ki 

IMO probably the best period piece chinese emperor.  Such a deeply conflicted character that goes through so much change.

 MilkyJungkyu:

love like the galaxy - the emperor was honestly hilarious and I love how he acted more as a matchmaker for the main couple than an actual emperor. 99,9% of the time he was on screen, he would try to find ways to get the two leads together. 

1st vote to the emperor of Love like the galaxy
2nd the rise of phoenixes 

3rd the long ballad

I haven't watched the story of ynaxi palace and the nirvana in fire so don't know about these
