Chapter 59

The Sky Screen hadn't been dark for even a stick of incense before it lit up again.】

This time there was no prelude, no foreshadowing, the galaxy "boom" exploded, the light brilliant and blinding.】

All dynasties, from the imperial palace to the common people,】

Countless people looked up at the same time, their hearts jumping wildly with the rhythm of that light,】

Finally starting to rank the eighth place.】

Ying Zheng "whoosh" stood up from the imperial throne, his sleeves knocking over the bamboo slips on the desk.】

He stared fixedly at the Sky Screen, his nails digging into his palms.】

Eighth place... eighth place should be me, right?】

I unified the six states, standardized the script, unified the carriage tracks, built the Great Wall, opened the foundation for ten thousand generations!】

If this eighth place is still not me...】

He didn't dare to think further.】

Liu Bang was drinking with Lady Qi, and seeing the Sky Screen light up, his wine goblet "clattered" and fell to the ground.】

He pushed away the beauty in his arms, ran barefoot to the outside of the hall, looked up, and muttered:】

"Eighth place... eighth place... it can't be that coward Zhao Da again, right? It's my turn, it's my turn..."】

Liu Che stood on the high platform of Weiyang Palace, the night wind blowing his sleeves.】

He pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes sharp as an eagle.】

Eighth place... who will it be?】

If it's me, I am well-deserved; if not... hmph, watch me spray him to death.】

Li Shimin had just finished dinner with Empress Zhangsun and was approving memorials.】

Seeing the Sky Screen light up, he put down his pen and walked to the window, standing with his hands behind his back.】

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui hurried over, standing behind him, not daring to breathe.】

Everyone knew that the Emperor was waiting for this ranking.】

Zhao Kuangyin was still immersed in the joy of the immortal's blessing and the blow of later evaluations, his mood as complex as a spilled spice shop.】

Seeing the Sky Screen light up again, he jumped, hurriedly sitting straight.】

This time... this time it should be finished ranking, right?】

He wanted to see what those "Greatest Emperors" ahead were better than him.】

And at this moment, on the Sky Screen, the galaxy began to rotate and gather, condensing into several ancient and vigorous, golden-shining large characters:】

【Ranking the Ten Greatest Emperors in History - Eighth Place】】

It's here!】

Everyone held their breath, their hearts jumping to their throats.】

【The characters slowly dissipated, and the scene appeared:】

【A majestic city, banners fluttering on the city wall, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a wing-good crown, pressing his sword and standing on the city wall, his eyes like torches, looking toward the vast land in the north.】

【Behind him were continuous palaces, vast rivers, and ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers.】

【Below the scene, a line of small characters appeared:】

【Ming Chengzu - Yongle Emperor - Zhu Di】】

All dynasties fell into deathly silence.】

Then -】

"Slap!"】

Ying Zheng kicked over the bronze lamp stand in front of him, lamp oil splashing all over the floor, the flame "whoosh" jumping up, making his face look ferocious like a ghost.】

"Ming Chengzu?! Zhu Di?! Another later emperor?!!"】

He roared, the sound shaking the dust off the palace beams,】

"Where am I?! Where is my ranking?!"】

Zhao Gao echoed from the side: "With Your Majesty's merits, you are enough to be in the top three of the list."】

Ying Zheng thought it was reasonable, stopped being angry, and continued to watch the list.】

At the same time, Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.】

Liu Che sprayed all the wine he had just drunk.】

"Zhu Yuanzhang?! Chen Youliang?! What is all this?!"】

He coughed while pointing at the Sky Screen, laughing until tears came out,】

"Ming Chengzu? Zhu Di? Never heard of him. Another later child. It seems this 'Greatest Emperor' is wholesale in later generations, anyone can be one."】

He turned around and said to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing behind him,】

"Did you see that? The emperors of later generations are nothing more than this."】

Wei Qing was silent. Huo Qubing was young and vigorous, couldn't help but say:】

"Your Majesty, this Zhu Di... seems to have some ability. Look at his momentum standing on the city wall, he doesn't look like a mediocre ruler."】

"Have ability?"】

Liu Che sneered, "Even if he has ability, can he compare to me northern-expeditioning the Xiongnu and expanding the territory? Ridiculous!"】

Tang Dynasty.】

Li Shimin frowned looking at the bright yellow figure on the Sky Screen.】

Ming Chengzu... Zhu Di... never heard of this name.】

But looking at that momentum, looking at those eyes, he is definitely not a person in a pond.】

He pondered for a moment and said to Zhangsun Wuji behind him,】

"Record it, Ming, Zhu Di. The dynasty of later generations actually has such a person."】

Zhangsun Wuji bowed: "Yes."】

Song Dynasty.】

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the words "Ming Chengzu," feeling a little more balanced in his heart.】

Look, he is not the only one pressed behind later emperors.】

This Ming Dynasty should be after his Great Song.】

He was pondering when the voice on the Sky Screen sounded again.】

This time, the tone was more lively, even a bit excited:】

【Dear audience, are you surprised? Are you unexpected? Last time we talked about that "releasing military power over wine" Zhao Da, and the bullet chat area was almost drowned in tears.】

【The eighth place we are ranking today is too exciting!】

【He is the only vassal king in history who successfully rebelled, and also the best "996 worker" of the Great Ming Dynasty.】

【Some people on the internet call him "Judy," some call him "the strongest northern drifter in history," and some gave him the nickname "the ceiling of the usurpation world."】

【He is - Ming Chengzu, Yongle Emperor, Zhu Di!】

Before the voice fell, a pile of bullet chats "whooshed" across the Sky Screen, colorful, dense and numerous:】

【Ying Zheng (Qin Shi Huang): Judy? What kind of ghost name is that? Ceiling of the usurpation world? Hmph, rebellious minister and traitor, also worthy of being called Emperor?】】

【Liu Bang (Han Taizu): The only vassal king who successfully rebelled? A bit interesting. @Zhu Di, come out and chat, how did you fool your subordinates into working with you?】】

【Liu Che (Han Wu Di): 996 worker? What does that mean? But "ceiling of the usurpation world"... this title, I want to hear about it.】】

【Li Shimin (Tang Taizong): Only? Maybe not. However... usurpation can be usurped into the Greatest Emperor, this is interesting.】】

【Zhao Kuangyin (Song Taizu): Usurpation... alas, why bother. Not as good as my yellow robe added, without bloodshed, how good.】

While the bullet chats were floating, the Sky Screen scene began to change.】

【That bright yellow figure standing on the city wall gradually faded, replaced by a fast-edited scene:】

【War, smoke, iron cavalry galloping, palace coup, enthronement, ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute, treasure ships going to the Western Ocean...】

【Accompanied by impassioned background music, it made people's blood boil.】

【Then, the scene froze on a young face.】

【That was young Zhu Di, wearing a prince's regular clothes, with sharpness between his brows, his eyes firm.】

【Below the scene, a life summary appeared:】

【Zhu Di, born in 1360 AD (Yuan Zhizheng Year 20). He is the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, born in Nanjing, Yingtian Prefecture.】

Seeing this, the emperors of all dynasties were stunned again.】

Ming Dynasty? Third? Then who is the first? Who is the second? This Zhu Di... whose throne did he usurp?】

Before they could figure it out, the Sky Screen continued:】

【How was Zhu Di's family background? Speaking of it, it's all tears.】

【He is the fourth son of the Great Ming founding emperor Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he was born, his father was fighting for his life against Chen Youliang on the front line.】
