I personally love "Zhao Pu" krup. I like him especially because of his crucial role in instigating the "bloodless military revolt at Chen bridge (my loose translation)" (Chen Qiao Bing Bian). Zhao Pu was probably the most influential person in the development of the entire Song dynasty.
Why? Because, it was Zhao Pu who laid down the strategy for the survival of Song dynastic rule which could be summed up as:
"use preventative politics / political administration [as the fundamental principle] in the governing of a country [my very loose administration]"
(yi fang bi zhi zheng, zuo li guo zhi fa)
and Zhao Pu was able to describe his idea very concretely in his conversation with Zhao Kuang Yin [xu zi zhi tong jian chang pian: juan 2]:
"...gradually deprive and seize their (the military and political notables who is or could become a potential threat) power and authority, take control of the source and supply of their money and food supply, withdraw the control of the ablest of their soldiers, then there will be peace and prosperity under all the heaven"
(shao duo qi quan, zhi qi qian gu, shou qi jing bing, ze tian xia an yi)
[spent a so long trying to find out where this part came from... huh]
Zhao Pu was a man of his words, and we could see that he was instrumental in the attempts to follow through with his suggestion in trying to guarantee peace and stability for the Song dynasty.
1) Zhao Pu was instrumental in Zhao Kuang Yin's successful attempt at forcing his aides and accomplices to relegate their military powers (which Zhao Kuang Yin agrees with Zhao Pu that military powers in the hands of his friends are proven dangers to the peace and prosperity of the fledgling dynasty), the incident is later known famously as the "Relegation of military power with a glass of wine incident (my translation)" (Bei Jiu Shi Bing Quan).
2) In trying to prevent history from repeating itself, "The later Zhou" dynasty (Hou Zhou) being the case in point where a young emperor falls prey to an aspiring military figure, Zhao Pu was the main collaborator in the "golden box oath affair"(jin kui zhi meng). According to "The History of the Song Dynasty: " (song shi: lie zhuan di yi: hou fei shang) before the death of Zhao kuang Yin and Zhao Kuang Yi's mother "the dowager empress, Du." (du tai hou), called in Zhao Kuang Yin and asked him does he know why he was able to become emperor? Zhao Kuang Yin half hesitantly replied that is was all due to the accumulated goodness and good fortune of his parents and ancestors. The dowager empress replied, that that is not the case. Rather he got to become emperor because Zhou Gong Di was just a child! If the Zhou dynasty had a man as their emperor, then you had no chance of becoming emperor. Therefore, she suggests, when your time on earth is up, pass the throne to your brother, to ensure that a grown man is on the throne, this is for the prosperity and the survival of the dynasty. To this, as written in "The Histoy of the Song Dynasty", Zhao Kuang Yin sobs as he replies "I dare not disobey your teaching." This moment, the dowager empress, then commands Zhao Pu to come in and write down this oath, or what is to be known as "the oath of the golden box" and the beginning of the "golden box oath affair". With both the dowager empress and Zhao Kuang Yin dead, Zhao Pu held in his hand the destiny of the Song dynasty.
Hope that others find it interesting.
Moreover, I would like to introduce a poem, "instructing [one's / my] son / descendants" (shi er), that Lu You, a patriotic poet, wrote (1210) before his death.
"si qu yuan zhi wan shi kong,
(I know that when I die all become none existent)
dan bei bu jian jiu zhou tong.
(But I am sadden that I cannot live to see the day when China is united)
wang shi bei ding zhong yuan ri, (The day that the imperial army pacify the North) jia ji wu wang gao nai weng.
([My] household [descendants] do not forget to make a sacrifce and inform this old man)"
