History of Asia

[Emperor Sutoku] The emperor hated by his father! What is life that makes you a ghost legend?

Sōtoku ( Sutoku ) Emperor "Who?" This person, Japan's "Three Great Onryō" A person who is counted as one of.
I think you don't have to count that ...

Sugawara no Michizane called "God of Learning" ( Sugawara no Michizane ) Sanya Taira no Masakado ( Masakado Taira ) Is quite famous, isn't he?

These two people and Emperor Sutoku are collectively called the "third generation grudge."
Everyone has died in tragedy, and after that, a number of bizarre phenomena occur, so it has come to be called the "third generation grudge."

Moreover, Emperor Sutoku introduced this time is "I curse the Emperor's family!" He is the one who has declared that.

It's the strongest of the three.

This time, I will introduce why I lived such a life full of resentment.

Let's go.

Who is Emperor Sutoku?

The father of Emperor Sutoku, the 75th emperor, is the 74th Toba ( Toba ) Emperor And, of course, it is a parent and child on the genealogy.

However, Fujiwara no Tamako , the mother of Emperor Sutoku and the wife of Emperor Toba. ( Fujiwara no Shoshi ) Is 72nd Shirakawa ( Shirakawa ) Emperor I also had a relationship with him.
From the perspective of Emperor Toba, he is a grandfather.

In fact, Emperor Sutoku was rumored to be the son of Emperor Shirakawa, not the son of Emperor Toba.

Emperor Shirakawa probably knew that Emperor Sutoku was his own child, he was very concerned, and Emperor Sutoku was 3 years old . Emperor Toba is forcibly abdicated I will let you.
The birth of Emperor Sutoku.

And Emperor Shirakawa will continue to wield power. Emperor Toba is outside the mosquito net.

Emperor Toba's counterattack!

Emperor Toba also " uncle ( " about Emperor Sutoku. Uncle ) I hated it.
My grandfather's child is my uncle. Everyone knew this parent-child relationship.

Emperor Sutoku around 10 years old Finally, when Emperor Shirakawa died, Emperor Toba finally began to take control.

First, we will eliminate the aides of Emperor Shirakawa and bring back those who were kept away from Emperor Shirakawa. Well, that's right.

Fujiwara no Tamako was also moved away, and Emperor Toba was Fujiwara no Nariko . ( Fujiwara Nariko ) Will be set aside.

And the Konoe ( ) that Nariko gave birth to. This ) Enthronement of the Emperor at the age of 3 I will let you.

She urged Emperor Sutoku to abdicate, just as she did.

Emperor Toba's trap!

Emperor Toba adopted Emperor Konoe to Emperor Sutoku I will recommend you to.

Then Emperor Sutoku will be the emperor's "father" So you can get involved in politics.

And Emperor Sutoku transfers the throne to Emperor Konoe.

However, the trap of Emperor Toba is hidden here, and the mission of the emperor's coronation is "Prince" . Not " Prince ( " Mostly ) Was written.

This means that Emperor Konoe is not the "father" of Emperor Sutoku, but the "younger brother" . Therefore, Emperor Sutoku can no longer carry out politics.

To the Hogen rebellion!

However, because Emperor Konoe was ill, he was 17 years old . I will die at a young age.
Emperor Konoe had no successor, and Emperor Sutoku thought that he had a chance.

Emperor Sutoku is his own child, Shigehito-shin ( Shigehito Shinno ) I hope to get the throne.

Here again, Emperor Toba appears. I will not forgive Emperor Sutoku resolutely.

29-year-old Go-Shirakawa ( , who is also the younger brother of Emperor Sutoku Goshirakawa ) Enthronement of the Emperor I will let you.

Emperor Go-Shirakawa was a person who had been stunned since he was young and was said to be poorly made.

However, after this, Emperor Shirakawa later "The Great Tengu of the World" . Will be called.

Famous places of Taira and Genji, Taira no Kiyomori ( Taira no Kiyomori ) , Minamoto no Yoritomo ( Tomo Minamoto ) Become a super celebrity who competes with.

In fact, this person must have understood his position well because he was the younger brother of the emperor.
Unless you are the eldest son, the throne of the emperor rarely comes around. It's easier for him to be amazed if he doesn't care about himself.
However, if you stand on the front stage, you will have enough potential.

In fact, is this the smartest person?

And finally, Emperor Sutoku VS Go-Shirakawa The composition is completed, and Hogen rebellion involving Mr. Genjihei Will rush.

Not loved by my father until the end

Emperor Toba dies during the Hogen rebellion ..

At the end, Emperor Sutoku wants to visit his father, Emperor Toba, but he couldn't meet him.

In fact, Emperor Toba left behind saying that he should not show his body to Emperor Sutoku.

Emperor Toba's resentment must have been considerable.

But that's what his grandfather, Emperor Shirakawa, did, and Emperor Sutoku is just perfect.
I think I was wondering why I had to be hated so much.

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".

Summary

This time, I introduced Emperor Sutoku, who was involved in the relationships of the Emperor.

Emperor Toba, his grandson, was caught up in the politics of Emperor Shirakawa.

Emperor Toba's resentment against Emperor Sutoku, which can be taken in revenge.

And, as the last rebellion, Emperor Sutoku advances to the Hogen rebellion.

Looking at this, it seems that Emperor Sutoku had no bad points.

For that reason, the resentment may have become stronger.
