Do the stories praise the kings that instilled fear and denied any criticism? Or do they praise the wise kings that listened to their people and never got blinded by themselves?

As far as I can tell, there never was a wise king that listened to their people. There are certainly stories about such kings but this is mostly people romanticising the past.

Or the stories end by them getting overthrown by envious competitors or the public itself.
