Most of the historians feel hard to judge whether he was a good or bad emperor based on what he did. When he was in office in the beginning, he was a wisedom emperor. He always learned from other people, even the disagreements of his policy. He wanted to know people from different stratums and wanted to know their opinions. He united the China, abolished feudalisms, unified the weights and measurus and the characters.
However, after everything was steady, he changed a little and he became brutal. Many people died because of his policy. He refused to learn to other opinions and he wanted people to follow his words no matter what he did.
So he has two aspects and maybe hard to judge this emperor.
