Sky Screen: Who Was the Greatest of the Ming Dynasty's Sixteen Emperors?

【Of the Sixteen Ming Emperors, Who Was the Greatest?】 The sky screen appeared and began asking: Of the Sixteen Ming Emperors, who was the greatest? The sky screen displayed the lives, deeds, merits, faults, achievements, and more of all sixteen emperors, inviting discussion. Zhu Yuanzhang: “I founded the Ming Dynasty, drove out the Tatars, restored China, overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, and unified the realm. I started out with a bowl and ended up with an empire. Who can compare to me?” Zhu Di: “I fought the Jingnan Campaign in Heaven's name. Eight hundred men saved the Ming realm. I led five expeditions north and fought all the way to the Onon River, where I erected a monument to my victory. For hundreds of years, no one else has made it that far. Only I have.” Zhu Qizhen: “I am the Son of Heaven of the Ming! I'll make those Oirat clowns taste the wrath of the Ming Dynasty and the might of its royal army! I am the God of War of the Ming!” Zhu Houcong: “So what if I like cultivating the Dao and making elixirs? I may have skipped morning court for more than twenty years, but that doesn't mean I neglected state affairs! The Ming Dynasty under my rule was flourishing!” Zhu Youjian: “I founded the dynasty with a bowl and lost it with a rope! I did right by the Ming realm! I have nothing to be ashamed of! I did everything I could!” One emperor after another appeared on the sky screen, astonishing the myriad dynasties. “Why are there so many oddballs among the Ming emperors? And why do the oddballs get more numerous the later you go? What’s with the cricket emperor, the kidney-deficient emperor, the heirless emperor, and the Daoist emperor?” “Interesting! The more I watch the Ming Dynasty, the more interesting it gets. Zhu Di in particular is a lot like me!” “Heh! The Ming Dynasty is nothing compared to my Great Qin Empire! It has so many foolish emperors! My Great Qin had only one!”
