Maybe I'm missing something, but why is this a "List"? It is an excellent article, so why not move it to something like "Emperors of the Qing Dynasty"?
There is already a List of rulers of China which includes a List of Qing dynasty rulers. ch ( talk) 19:30, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
Glancing quickly at this article, I think it could be split. Most of the upper section could go on an article Emperors of the Qing Dynasty or Qing Dynasty Emperors and a neat four paragraph lead could be placed at the top of this article giving us both the list and the details in two good articles.

Friends;
This is an educational discussion on a topic I had not paid enough attention to. Thank you for enlightening us and motivating me to do some digging.
Advantages of keeping this article whole: 1) a reader can find the background and the list in the same place, 2) there don't seem to be parallel split articles on the emperorship for the other dynasties.
Advantages to splitting are that it leaves the List Article cleaner and creates a good new article.
A third option would be, rather than creating a new article, to add a paragraph (or two short ones) of this material to the Government section of the Qing dynasty article, which could well be expanded as it now has nothing on the emperorship as a political institution.
A random sample of the other Featured Lists leans toward allowing keeping this article whole.
These are only examples, not decisive precedents, but seem to show enough latitude in length of the lede that this list could either split or not.
On balance the present structure is preferable.
