Among Mr. Fujiwara, elite among elites is.

It is said that Mr. Fujiwara was the most prosperous in the Michinaga era . However, before Michinaga came to power, there was a conflict within the regents . Is continuing. Takaie Is from the side who lost the battle at the regents is.

Power struggle of the regent Fujiwara

The beginning of the conflict was Takaie Grandfather Kaneie And his brother, Kanemichi Age. After all, Kaneie The family line will flourish, but Kaneie Since then, Mr. Fujiwara has been fighting for the position of regent and Kampaku twice. Will occur.

Introduction Kaneie Was the emperor at that time when he was active Emperor Enyu By Emperor Kazan After the transfer to Ichijou ( Emperor Kazan Next generation of Kaneie's daughter Is a raw mother. Later Emperor Ichijo ) Prince's Household Michitaka of the firstborn (like the caretaker of the crown prince) Selected.

But that doesn't work.

Michitaka The morning government initiative by will end in five years. He fell ill (diabetes).

Michitaka Takaie's brother in the back pot ・ Ishu I recommend (this one), but Michitaka until then The forcible boy push by the lord is displeased by the lord and is opposed by the surroundings. After all, Michikane (Michitaka's younger brother and Ishu's uncle) Kampaku I will take up the position of.

Again, it's a turbulence.

Kampaku Michikane However, a few days later, I was sick with a pandemic (=smallpox, a mistake of measles). Kampaku It's been a few days since then, so naturally Ishu The situation cannot have changed. After all, Michinaga is at the center of the morning affairs It will be attached. At this time, Takaie was one of the people on the Ishu side. There is.

Meanwhile, Nakaseki Shiroya, whose ancestor is Michitaka There will be a decisive incident in which It is Michinaga Is preview Senji Immediately after receiving it.

What is a preview?

Read and treat the document from the Daijo-kan to the Emperor in advance It is a very important position that can be done. It is often done by a person who holds the position of regent or Kampaku, and by receiving this declaration, the rank in the imperial court is decided by Michinaga> Ishu It can be said that it was done.

Behind the scenes, Takaie's aunt and Michinaga's older sister ... and Fujiwara no Senshi, the maiden of Emperor Enyu, seemed to be involved. When she investigates the story, she finds out that Senshi was also annoyed by her brother, Michitaka's Ishu Choi.

Hanayamain Disrespectful Case and Chotoku's Change

Emperor Kazan who was a priest And Ishu Takaie was consulted with a woman-related mess (after all, a misunderstanding) Emperor Kazan with his followers The so-called Hanayamain disrespectful case , in which the sleeve of his clothes was shot with a bow and arrow. is.

This incident triggered Ishu Takaie Are Kokushi Gonshu and Izumo Gonmori respectively. It will be relegated as. This is a change of Chotoku It is called, and it is an event in 996.

Such Takaie Therefore, in the history book "Okagami", " Sagamono " It is drawn as. "Saganamono" means like "bastard" or "uncontrollable person" However, after experiencing this political setback, "transformation into a thoughtful figure with wisdom and talent" It seems that you did.

Chotoku's strange Later, Takaie gradually returned to the court society. (And Ishu ).

* Chotoku's change Michinaga on the mastermind It was rumored in the court society that there would have been. Therefore, the surrounding

He was also doing something like a performance to be alert. Takaie Refuse to return

Then Chotoku's change I think it's possible that you might be confused about the mastermind behind.

Or Michinaga Nakaseki Shiroya by those who try to drag it down That I carried out

Isn't it possible to think about it?

The following events are important events that occurred after this.

  • His brother, Ishu, died (1011)
  • Emperor Ichijo abdicated (1011)
  • The next Emperor Sanjo also abdicated (1016)

Emperor Ichijo First Prince of Atsuyasu-shin Ishu to my uncle Nakaseki Shiroya Is Atsuyasu-shin in both 1011 and 1016 It seems that it was possible to make him a consort kin and become a consort kin. However, Ishu Atsuyasu-shin due to his death Because the backing of the is weakened, " Depending on Takaie's stride Is attached.

Fujiwara no Takaie's illness and Dazaifu ...

However ...

In the middle of that, in 1013, Takaie Suffers from eye disease. With the recommendation of his relatives, the Takaie in February of the following year. There is a Tang doctor to cure the eye disease of Dazaifu Request yourself. Emperor Sanjo Will listen to the request, but Michinaga is afraid that the power of Kyushu and Takaie will be connected. Interfered and eventually Dazaifu I was able to take office in November.

* In "Eiga Monogatari", it is written that Michinaga was also injured and agreed to go to Dazaifu.

is. The story of obstruction is based on the description in "Small Right".

Here Takaie Finally Dazaifu It will be heading for. It was 1014.

Five years later, in 1019, Toi's invasion There was as in the previous article.

Toi's invasion that hit Tsushima and Iki By calming down, it was also taken care of by the local forces in Kyushu, and even in the mausoleum, Takaie There are some forces trying to push, but they remain in the position of Chunagon. When he put his son in the position of official, he retired from the position of Chunagon, and Toi's invasion After that, no quick achievements can be seen. In his later years, Dazaifu Gonshu again However, I declined it in about five years, and two years later, I passed away at the age of 66 as a second-ranked Chunagon.

Michinaga And his son, Ryodo A very annoying person for. That is Takaie It can be said that it was. Dazaifu that may be associated with local forces It has also been pointed out that he would have been monitoring in the city because it would be a problem if he left it in the city, and it is probably because of Michinaga and Michinaga's parents and children that his achievements have not been noticeable since he returned to Tokyo. It seems that.

At the same time as Takaie's talent, how great the power of Michinaga and Michinaga was ... In addition, you can see the great power of Michinaga and Michinaga (especially Michinaga) in the political dispute.
