Last on the Golden Rankings, Banished from Great Ming by Zhu Yuanzhang

In the twenty-fifth year of the Hongwu era, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died suddenly.

Zhu Ye transmigrates to the Ming dynasty as Zhu Yuanzhang's nineteenth son. He is determined to take out Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Laosi and become the second emperor of the Ming dynasty.

Just as he begins to make his move, a golden ranking list suddenly appears, revealing the list of vassal princes to the world. Zhu Ye ranks dead last.

Zhu Ye spends a year guarding the western frontier, opening 98 brothels, setting up 135 gambling dens, selling 300,000 jin of government salt, amassing 35 million taels, and collecting eighteen beauties from the Western Regions. He excels at every kind of indulgence.

Zhu Yuanzhang, mocked by all under heaven, flies into a rage, confiscates Zhu Ye's fief, and expels him from the Ming dynasty.

Several years later, Zhu Ye destroys the Mongols and returns with a million troops, surrounding the Ming dynasty.

"Father, I'm back."

That day, the emperor rankings appear, and Zhu Ye takes first place.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Pfft! My Ye'er has the makings of a great emperor!"
