Ranking the Difficulty of Founding Dynasties: The Ming Dynasty Is Only Second?

The Myriad Realms Network descended, ranking the ten emperors who had the hardest paths to founding their dynasties. Emperors would receive rewards based on their contributions.

Every emperor was thrilled when they saw this.

Old Zhu: I started out as a beggar, so I'll take first place. You can all fight over second.

Ying Zheng: Seriously? A beggar can become an emperor?

Liu Bang: I was just a commoner who became emperor. I never expected there to be an emperor who started out as a beggar!

Li Shimin: Brother Ba is awesome. First place is in the bag.

Yang Jian: Since I usurped power, won't I rank near the bottom?

Zhao Kuangyin: I rose to power by bullying a widow and her orphaned son. What am I supposed to do?

After the runner-up was announced, all the emperors were stunned. Was there really someone who started out even lower than a beggar?

Old Zhu was furious. "Impossible! I started out as a beggar, founded the Great Ming, and restored the Han people's rule. How could I possibly be second?"
