Let's go.

Kamakura Shogunate 3rd Shogun Minamoto no Sanetomo, Profile

1192, Born in Kamakura as a child of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate.

Around 7 years old , His father, Yoritomo, died in a mysterious fall accident ..

Brother Yoriie ( No more ) Will succeed the second shogun, but his mother, Masako ( Masako ) I'm getting worse and worse with Mr. Hojo, his parents' home.

In addition, Yoriie's dictatorship will worsen his reputation with his vassals.

Around 12 years old Finally, his brother, Yoriie, was deprived of his general position and was sent to Izu.

And Sanetomo-kun succeeded the third shogun ..

The following year, Yoriie was assassinated by Mr. Hojo . ..

Around 15 , Brother, Yoriie's second son, Zenzai ( Zenzai ) And make a parent-child relationship.

Not blessed with his succession, he realized that General Genji would be cut off for his own sake, and at least a high official position ( Kanai ) If you want to take it with you and leave it to future generations, you will get along with the imperial court and be promoted at an unusual speed.

The first " Minister of the Right ( " as a samurai Udaijin ) I went up to the official position.

Mr. Sanetomo was not good at martial arts because he was ill, but he likes waka very much Hyakunin Isshu ( Hyakunin Isshu ) The name is also listed in. Many waka poems have been selected for the songbook.

And at the age of 28 The incident happened during the visit to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, a celebration of the Minister of the Right.

And assassination ...

Around 18:00 at the end of January when it snows completely, in the morning, I took 1000 of his vassals to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. I was worshiping.

His mother, Masako's younger brother, who was planning to have a sword, Hojo Yoshitoki ( Yoshitoki Hojo ) Minamoto no Sanetomo , who was also an educator in the morning because he was in poor physical condition. ( Akira Minamoto ) It had changed to.

Around 20:00 When Minamoto no Sanetomo, who had finished his worship, was about to return to his vassals, suddenly three or four men wearing hoods attacked him.

One of them tramples on the hem of his clothes in the morning and causes him to fall.

"My parents will beat me!"

Shouted, and shook the blade around his neck in the morning.

Akira Gennaka, who had a sword, was also cut down on the spot.

The man said "I am Kugyō ( " Kugyo ) Nari! My father's death has been beaten! Shouted and disappeared from the spot.

At that time, 1000 armed real morning vassals were outside the precincts.

Kugyō, who dropped his head in the morning, is his mother's husband, Miura Yoshimura . ( Miura Yoshimura ) "I'm my general from now on! Get ready!" I will use it.

However, when Yoshimura talked about it at the time of Hojo Yoshitoki, Kugyō was also killed by someone.

Kugyo was the second son of the second Shogun Yoriie, Yoshiya.

He left home and changed his name to Kugyō.

He had a parent-child relationship with him in the morning, so he killed his father.

Kugyō was 20 years old.

The truth about the assassination in the morning!

① He simply wanted to take over the general position.

However, Mr. Yoshimura Miura is behaving in a mysterious manner.

If Kugyo becomes a shogun as it is, he will have more power than the hostile Mr. Hojo, but he is telling Mr. Hojo where he is.

"Black curtain" that Mr. Yoshimura Miura started the dawn It was supposed to be.

➁ To avenge Mr. Hojo, the villain of his parents and Yoriie.

The plan was to have a sword, Yoshitoki Hojo, but it has changed on the way.

Did you really intend to defeat Mr. Yoshitoki Hojo instead of Mr. Minamoto?

And did you get killed in the morning?

Yoshitoki had a feeling that thugs would come, so did he change his swordsmanship to Akira Gennaka just before?

The truth is in the dark because the perpetrator, Kugyō, has been killed. ..

However, looking only at the results, General Genji's lineage was completely cut off, and Akira Gennaka, who was in charge of the court and Minamoto no Sanetomo, was killed, and the samurai government controlled by Hojo was perfected. I will.
