Emperor Was hated by.
Emperor Toba's uncle Shirakawa
Rumors of the Emperor's Son Because there was.
And younger brother 77th Go-Shirakawa Hogen with the emperor Ran Emperor Sutoku who lost in Sanuki Province Will be exiled to.
What kind of life did you live in the exile?
And why "Third generation grudge" Have you been told that it is one of them?
Let's go.
Easy upbringing of Emperor Sutoku!
Emperor Sutoku is formally the son of the 74th Emperor Toba.
However, Emperor Toba's wife Tamako Relationship with the 72nd Emperor Shirakawa It is said that there was.
Therefore, it was rumored that Emperor Sutoku, the eldest son of Emperor Toba, was a child of Emperor Shirakawa.
Simply put, my wife had an affair with Grandpa.
Moreover, her grandfather abdicates Emperor Toba from the throne and gives it to Emperor Sutoku because of her cuteness.
Emperor Toba is completely banished from the world of politics.
As expected, the resentment will grow if this is done.
Then, when Emperor Shirakawa died, Emperor Toba's resentment fell on Emperor Sutoku.
Abdicate Emperor Sutoku from the throne and send his child to the emperor, just as he was done.
If the child dies early, Emperor Sutoku's younger brother, Go-Shirakawa, will be the emperor instead of the child of Emperor Sutoku.
Resolutely, "The throne is Watari to the descendants of Emperor Sutoku!" To the burrs.
In the end, when Emperor Toba died, "Don't show my body to virtues!" It is said that he left behind.
Until the end, it was a life that was not loved by her father.
In this article, I write "Emperor XX", but basically there is only one emperor.
The person who gives up the throne of the emperor becomes the "emperor emeritus".
What is your life at the exile?
Emperor Sutoku was exiled to Sanuki Province (Kagawa Prefecture) after being defeated by the "Hogen Rebellion" with Emperor Shirakawa after his younger brother.
The emperor's exile is the first event in 400 years.
Didn't you live with a grudge?
Emperor Sutoku lived a life of loneliness and sadness, wanting to step on the soil of Kyoto again, but he is not said to have had anger or resentment . ..
The song I wrote at that time did not show any feelings of resentment.
He was deeply involved in Buddhism and devoted himself to making manuscripts, hoping for paradise.
I will present to the imperial court a manuscript with a completed memorial service for the war dead and a proof of remorse at the temple in Kyoto.
It seems that he was a good person who could really face his sins.
In fact, it's just like his father's resentment.
Legend of the Revenge
"Isn't there a curse?"
Go-Shirakawa sent back the manuscript of Emperor Sutoku.
At last, Emperor Sutoku was very angry at this treatment and bit his tongue into a manuscript.
"I will be the Great Demon King of Japan, making the emperor the people and the people the emperor!" I wrote in blood.
Eight years after his exile, he died with a grudge.
He continued to grow his nails and hair until his death, and is said to have looked like Yasha.
Gentle humans are scared when they get angry.
What happened after Emperor Sutoku died?
Even after the death of Emperor Sutoku, the imperial court recognized that he was a sinner and did not take any action.
However, about 10 years after Emperor Sutoku passed away, the situation changed completely . ..
The wife of Emperor Go-Shirakawa and his close friends died one after another, and " Goso of Enryakuji Temple" "The Great Fire of Angen" and other social stability disruptions occur in quick succession ..
Everyone is Emperor Sutoku's grudge After being mentally cornered, Emperor Shirakawa also enshrines the spirit on the battlefield of "Hogen Rebellion" " Sutokuin Mausoleum " Was created or given the protection of a temple built near the dead.
From ancient times, spirits have been regarded as terrifying. I can't do anything about it, so I have to visit.
Toward an era when samurai are in power
"I will be the Great Demon King of Japan, making the emperor the people and the people the emperor!"
As the word says, the rise of Taira and Genji.
From the Kamakura Shogunate, samurai will take control of politics.
Mr. Ashikaga in the Muromachi period.
During the Warring States period, samurai from all over the world gained momentum, and finally Toyotomi Hideyoshi Takes the world.
The Tokugawa Shogunate that lasted 260 years.
Almost 700 years after the samurai era, finally " Taisei Hokan " The administration will be returned to the emperor ..
Then, Emperor Meiji returned the spirit of Emperor Sutoku to Kyoto, and Shiramine Shrine Founded.
Emperor Showa held a ceremony called "Emperor Sutoku 800th Anniversary Festival" in Kagawa Prefecture in 1964.
For the Emperor, Emperor Sutoku became inseparable.
Summary
We introduced Emperor Sutoku's "Grief Legend".
Is it the feeling that Emperor Sutoku was originally involved in the bad relationship between his father and his grandfather?
Even though he was defeated in the battle with his younger brother and was driven to Sanuki Province, he kept himself and lived a calm life, but again the worst treatment.
It can't be helped if something that I had put up with was cut off and I became a grudge. I'm scared ...
If Emperor Sutoku continued to be the emperor without any problems, he would even feel like he was in a calm world.
I've never met him, but I feel like a kind-hearted young man.
I've never met ...
This is the second time, but
It's scary to offend a kind person.
