How do you evaluate Zhou Wang in Heroes?

Shang Zhouwang is the representative of the cruel and fatuous emperor in the history of China. Shang Zhouwang has all the characteristics of a tyrant, and Shang Zhouwang has become synonymous with a tyrant. But many people in history also want to know, is Zhou Wang really so cruel? In the sub-chapter of The Analects of Confucius, Zi Gong said: "Better be poor than poor", that is to say, Zhou Wang is not as bad as later generations said. Robbie, a poet in the Song Dynasty, put forward a series of charges against Zhou Wang in On How Many Things Are Not True. These charges were deliberately exaggerated by later historians, because they thought that the crimes of Zhou Wang and tyrant Xia Jie were like withdrawing troops. However, Li Ciming, a poet in the Song Dynasty, believed that the main crimes were fighting, ruining da ji, and detaining King Wen. Compared with later tyrants, it is nothing at all.
