Was Judy a wise monarch or a traitor in the history of the Ming Dynasty?
I think this is a matter of opinion. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, he was an out-and-out villain because he didn't act according to Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite person is not him, but his nephew Zhu Yunwen, so what he is destined to do should not be rebellion, but fully assist Zhu Yunwen and make Zhu Yunwen a wise king.

However, some people would say that Zhu Yunwen wanted to kill him first, so he resisted. But here I want to tell you that there is an old saying that I have to die if you want to make your envoy die. As the emperor at that time, Zhu Yunwen naturally killed people to seize power, and whoever wanted to die had to die. This is the embodiment of being an emperor with supreme power, otherwise there is no use being an emperor.

However, from the perspective of the emperor, he was also a wise monarch. Judy did a lot of good things during her reign, such as revoking the notorious Royal Guards, so that many ministers in the DPRK were no longer afraid of the sword of Damocles hanging overhead, which can be said to be a great relief to them. Similarly, Judy is also concerned about the development of people's livelihood. For example, he introduced a series of policies that really benefited the people.

For another example, Judy completely solved the problem of ethnic minorities in the north and led troops to the north five times, so that these ethnic minorities no longer longed for the Daming frontier, and the people in the frontier lived a life of peace and contentment. Moreover, Judy's hard and headstrong temperament was also passed on to the successors of the Ming Dynasty, which is a historical fact that many later emperors of the Ming Dynasty would rather be captured than compromise.
