No, he didn't see the situation clearly at that time. He didn't realize that he was actually just a courtier. He forgot the words "the difference between a monarch and a minister". After Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, Zhao Pu can be said to be his right-hand man, and Zhao Kuangyin will discuss everything with him, which shows the weight of Zhao Pu in his heart, but after all, there is no blood relationship, so no matter how strong his ability is, he is only a courtier, not his own brother. The only blood-related brother in Zhao Kuangyin is Zhao Guangyi.

After the situation stabilized, Zhao Kuangyin obviously didn't need this person to help him with his advice, but at this time, Zhao Pu was used to this feeling of helping Zhao Kuangyin deal with state affairs. He didn't realize the fact that he had overstepped his authority as a courtier. At that time, Zhao Pu regarded Zhao Guangyi as his enemy, because he strongly opposed Zhao Kuangyin's transfer of the throne to Zhao Guangyi, but it didn't matter at all if Zhao Pu didn't agree.

From then on, Zhao Guangyi hated Zhao Pu very much. At that time, Zhao Guangyi held an important position in the imperial court, which naturally made trouble for Zhao Pu by stealth, but he mostly made trouble for him privately. The well-known event is the "Golden Melon Seed". At that time, Zhao Pu was holding a box. When Zhao Kuangyin asked him, he replied that it contained seafood, but when it was opened, it contained glittering melon seeds. Zhao Pu turned pale and was very afraid to kneel on the ground. Although Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything at that time, it was also the beginning of bad blood between them.

It wasn't long before Zhao Kuangyin dismissed Zhao Pu as the prime minister. At that time, he found a smooth and grand reason, saying that he was afraid of overwork and let him have a good rest. In fact, the real reason was the box of "golden melon seeds".
