What kind of person was Zhao Guangyi in history?

Mao Zhao Kuangyin had five brothers, the first and the fifth died young. In the second year after Song Taizu ascended the throne, his mother Du Taihou was seriously ill. Before she died, she called Song Dazu and confidant minister Zhao Pu to her side, and told Song Dazu to pass on the throne to his third son Zhao Guangyi, and then to his fourth son Zhao Tingmei after the death of his third son, and then to Song Taizu's son from Zhao Tingmei. Zhao Pu ordered someone to make a record, which was treasured by Song Taizu.

In 976 ad; Song Taizu is very ill. When he was dying, he did obey his mother's will and did not pass on the throne to his son. Instead, he ordered the throne to be passed on to his younger brother, Zhao Guangyi Song Taizu. After his death, Zhao Guangyi acceded to the throne and made him Song Taizong. During the reign of Song Taizu, Zhao Tingmei, the fourth son, was named Wang Wei. After Song Taizong proclaimed himself emperor, he was named Yinfu in Kaifeng. Zhao Tingmei has been opinionated since he was a child. As he grew older, he became more arrogant and did whatever he wanted, and no one could help him.

He also knows his mother's wishes, and now he regards his third brother Zhao Guangyi as the emperor, hoping that his third brother will die soon so that he can pass on the throne to him. Later, seeing that Song Taizong was in good health, he was unlikely to succeed in the short term, so he tried to seize the throne by conspiracy.

One day, Zhao Guangyi, Song Taizong, called Prime Minister Zhao Pu to discuss and asked him his views on the issue of succession. He asked him whether he should pass the throne to his son or to his younger brother Wang Wei according to his mother's wishes. Zhao Pu said, "Your Majesty, it is wrong for Emperor Dazu to pass on the throne to you instead of his son." Wouldn't it be a mistake to pass on the throne to Wang Wei instead of his own son? "

Hearing this, Song Taizong dismissed the idea of passing the throne to Wang Wei. Soon, it was reported that Wang Wei and Zhao Tingmei were plotting to rebel. Zhao Pu said to Emperor Taizong, "Wang Wei has ulterior motives. You can exile him to a remote place to prevent him from launching a rebellion. "

Song Taizong listened to Zhao Pu's advice, cut off the title of Wang Wei of Zhao Tingmei and demoted him to a remote prefecture. Soon, Zhao Tingmei died of depression.
