Huangdi was a good ruler towards the people that approved of him. He wouldn't accept disapproval of anyone. If you dared disobeyed or opposed him or his ideas you would be sent to death or thrown into prison.

The Emperor standardized Chinese writing, bureaucracy, scholarship, law, currency, weights and measures. He expanded the Chinese empire, built a capital in Xian, a system of roads, and massive fortifications and palaces. He also divided China into several districts and every district would be ruled by a chosen governor.

Shi Huangdi (259-210 BC) was a cruel ruler who readily killed or banished those who opposed him or his ideas. He is notorious for burning virtually all the books that remained from previous regimes. He even banned scholarly discussions of the past. Moreover, he tried to stop Confucianism and wanted those under his rule to follow Legalism
