Never read the book, but in all the movie versions I’ve seen, Louis XIV is portrayed as a cowardly villain for choosing such a heartless means to keep his brother’s existence a secret.

In the last movie version, at least, the second conspiracy in the plot being hushed up seemed to be a good thing.
