Go-Shirakawa-in And Taira no Kiyomori Shigeko Taira is indispensable for talking about the relationship between the two before talking about Let's talk about the woman.

Taira no Shigeko Go-Shirakawa-in for the first time with the adjustment of - Kiyomori It is no exaggeration to say that the posture was well established.

Shigeko She was originally serving Tobain's daughter, Kaminishimonin, but her sister Kiyomori Wife Tokiko From the introduction of Go-Shirakawa-in It was started to be seen in. She was so low that she couldn't be a nyōgo at first, but she seems to have become an incomparable favorite of other women.

This time, Go-Shirakawa-in And Kiyomori Relationship Shigeko I'll keep an eye on her until her death.

Emperor Nijo's pro-government and the influence of the demise

Emperor Nijo And Go-Shirakawa-in Go-Shirakawa-in while the power struggle of And Shigeko During Prince Norihito Is born. This Prince Norihito Go-Shirakawa Plans, but Nijo pro-political faction Takes the conspiracy in the wrong direction and starts pro-government.

Nijo pro-government Then, the regents and the Heike teamed up, and the people who were likely to interfere with the pro-politics of the Go-Shirakawa faction were firmly relegated or engaged in politics.

[Changes in the political system due to Emperor Nijo and Konoe Motozane]

    Later Emperor Rokujo. It was the coronation in 7 months.

However, it is too early Emperor Nijo And Konoe Motozane The situation changes drastically due to the death of.

[Situation before and after the death of Emperor Nijo and Konoe Motozane]
  • February 1165 Fujiwara no Koremichi dies and Emperor Nijo falls ill The foundation that supports the Nijo pro-government system begins to shake.
  • June 1165 Emperor Nijo's illness worsens. Imperial prince Junjin is transferred to the prince on the same day → Emperor Rokujo (7 months old) became the throne and became regent Konoe Motozane

    The young death of the emperor, who was called the wise king, will have a great impact on the political world.

  • July 1166 Regent Konoe Motozane dies

    He had a good family and was a strong candidate for succession to the throne, but his proclamation was hopeless ( Taira no Shigeko ). It is said that there was an obstruction)

  • October 1166 Prince Norihito was born between Shirakawa-in and Taira no Shigeko.
  • 1168 Emperor Rokujo's transfer Prince Norihito Is Emperor Takakura Enthroned as

Kiyomori who was a builder of the Heike and had military power Partly because he had a marital relationship with his various influential people and his relatives, he was in a situation where he could move sufficiently depending on the steering even if the situation changed (the influential person is also Mr. Taira). I wanted the military power of the sword so much that I could get out of my throat).

Kiyomori Is Go-Shirakawa-in I'm worried about my behavior and personality, " Go-Shirakawa-in By Cloister Rule It seems that he was in the position of "a little ...", but Demise of the Crown of Nijo Kiyomori changed to a cloister rule from around 1166 as the main characters continued to disappear. doing.

Then, in February 1167, Daijo-daijin (After 3 months, he was promoted to, and the reign of the family was his eldest son Shigemori . I'm giving it to you).

The 7th Prince Prince Norihito even though there are other influential people in the successor to the throne The purpose of suppressing it with military power + authority because the hostile forces became lively due to the fact that he was a prince. It can also be considered.

Go-Shirakawa-in from around this time And Kiyomori The bond looks like a strong one. At the same time, the samurai Daijo-daijin And conflict with the regents So I got a lot of antipathy from the surroundings.

Conflict between the Heike and the Sekiseki

Emperor Nijo and Emperor Rojo Konoe Motozane who served as regent and Kampaku for two generations Under Kiyomori Daughter Moriko Hira (Moriko) was married. Motozane Is 22 years old, Moriko Was a 9-year-old event. Motozane Two years before he died.

Motozane Already basic I have a son, Motozane In 1166, when he died, basic He is only 7 years old. Therefore, Motozane's younger brother, Motofusa , will be the successor to the regent. Is succeeding.

However, Kiyomori said, " Motozane After that his son basic Should succeed! I was taking the position.

Konoe Motozane (Economic foundation) and diary for generations (The diary at that time can be the authority for rituals and public affairs and judgments, intellectual foundation), Higashisanjoden Basic with my wife, such as (the official residence of a regent) Moriko inherits There was a desire to be able to do it.

The priest of the Heike and the intimate regents planned to actually inherit the inheritance.

But of course Moriko It cannot be managed by Kiyomori Was going. So-called "embezzlement of the regents" It is known as an incident called, and of course the regents are dissatisfied with the Heike.

Moriko Died in 1179, but after Moriko's death I will continue to the problem of inheritance of this customs territory ..

Conflict between Go-Shirakawa-in and Kiyomori's political line

Kao's strong complaint in 1170 .. Enryakuji Buddhist priests are the lord of Owari Province, Fujiwara no Narichika Go-Shirakawa-in in a goso sought for exile and Kiyomori A case where the political direction of is completely different But there is also.

* What is a goso?

During the cloister rule, the monks held up Buddhist punishment and made unreasonable demands by forcibly trying to pass their opinions to the other party with a strong attitude and attitude.

Kiyomori in 1168 Wishing for healing of illness Enryakuji Departure at home. Then in 1169, Go-Shirakawa Is also a priest and has become a pope.

Normally it would be "at Enryakuji", but Kiyomori And Enryakuji Enryakuji may have more power when it comes to Go-Shirakawa, while Enryakuji has power due to the approach of. Being wary of it, all eight priests, including the priest, are Sonjoji . I am letting the students of (Onjoji) take charge.

Actually, this Sonjoji , Enryakuji is a temple that has been in conflict since the 10th century But there is also. There are dozens of burning incidents, including small ones, not once or twice.

Such Sonjoji Enryakuji Not interesting as. In addition, Go-Shirakawa-in Also Enryakuji It was moving in the direction of shrinking the territory's mansion ( Enryakuji ) Go-Shirakawa-in Would have been wary).

Above all, Enryakuji The power of Mino is strong. It was Go-Shirakawa who was the lord of the country of Mino and Owari. In-no-kinshin Fujiwara no Narichika That's how it was.

Pope Shirakawa Is a adult Enryakuji I tried to take a strong stance against, but the lord who cares about Buddha punishment and Enryakuji Mr. Taira, who has a friendly relationship with him, is negative about his actions. In the end, the imperial court wasn't in step with each other, and the situation changed, but Enryakuji I decided to drink the request of the side.

A few months later, Go-Shirakawa-in And Kiyomori Is Go-Shirakawa-in by performing simultaneous reception at Todaiji Temple (reception is to receive the name of the commandment as a proof of the Buddhist teaching, and at the same time, following the example of Toba-in and Fujiwara no Tadazane). And Kiyomori It showed that the cooperation system of the government was solid, and the conflict of political lines seemed to have been settled.

Finally

Kiyomori Lato regents And Go-Shirakawa-in While the relationship with Shigeko has become delicate, it was Shigeko who got along well. And her native Taira Dojo ..

Go-Shirakawa-in Shigeko How serious her love and trust was was her sister, Tokiko . And Kiyomori Daughter, Tokuko Is Go-Shirakawa-in Emperor Takakura as the daughter of Youzi It is also reflected in the fact that I entered the company.

Shigeko It happened to be Go-Shirakawa-in Nyoin However, a woman from the Taira clan cannot be a nyōgo. Emperor Takakura Shigeko wants to stabilize the reign of Intention is Go-Shirakawa-in It is said that she had a strong influence on the brute force method of entering her after making her a grace.

Such Shigeko When she died in 1176 at the young age of 35 due to a ban (swelling), she had various distortions that did not appear on the surface, and Shishigatani's plot. A conspiracy case aimed at overthrowing Mr. Taira was discovered It was decided to do.
