This time Musashibo Benkei Mr. is.
When I was hunting swords in the town of Kyoto, Ushiwakamaru Appears, somehow accompanies, and somehow finally Minamoto no Yoshitsune He is the one who protected him and received an arrow all over his body and died while standing.
I did my loyalty to my lord, Yoshitsune, until the end.
Then, I will introduce the profile and anecdotes of Mr. Benkei Musashibo.
Benkei Musashibo, Easy Profile
Late Heian period , Kii Province
It is said that he was born in (currently Wakayama Prefecture), but the details are unknown.
Benkei's father took the princess away, and then Benkei was born between the two.
Over 18 months in his mother's belly There is an anecdote that when he was born, his hair grew to his shoulders and his teeth were all grown.
When I was a child, Mt. Hiei You can enter the temple, but you will be kicked out because you were a mess without studying.
After that, Ushiwakamaru (later Minamoto no Yoshitsune) appeared while hunting swords in the town of Kyoto, and Benkei, who lost the battle at Gojo Ohashi, became a servant as it was.
Minamoto no Yoshitsune's brother, let's make a good country Minamoto no Yoritomo famous for the Kamakura Shogunate Yoshitsune and Benkei, who participated in the call for "Taira's follow-up", will show great success in destroying Taira.
However, Yoshitsune makes Yoritomo angry.
He received the reward of "Taira clan revenge" from the imperial court without permission.
I was chased by Yoritomo and decided to escape to Oshu (currently Iwate Prefecture) in the Tohoku region.
Mr. Fujiwara Oshu 3rd generation ・ Hidehira Fujiwara Although it was hidden by Mr., the 4th generation, Fujiwara no Yasuhira In his time, Yasuhira, who couldn't stand the pressure of Yoritomo, betrayed Yoshitsune.
And Yoshitsune and Benkei have passed away.
At this time, the act of protecting the master, Yoshitsune, without falling even if he received an arrow like rain, is "Stuck Benkei" . It is left with the word.
Anecdote of Benkei-san.
Yamabushi to practice in the mountains at the checkpoint on the way to Oshu with Yoshitsune An incident occurs when you try to disguise yourself as a figure.
I was suspected of being a fake Yamabushi.
Benkei was there blank It was Kanjincho Was read aloud perfectly.
Kanjinchō is a book that is read aloud when receiving donations from the people when building or repairing a temple.
In addition, Yoshitsune "Are you not Minamoto no Yoshitsune?" Benkei hits Yoshitsune with a cane. It would have been painful. However, it is a great performance.
Actually, the person at Sekisho was aware of Benkei's lie, but he felt Benkei's feelings and pretended to be deceived. The person at Sekisho was a great performer.
Yoshitsune and Benkei have not died in Oshu, and the theory that they fled to Hokkaido and Mongolia is famous.
He became the first emperor of the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan.
In Hokkaido, there are still places such as Yoshitsune Shrine, Yoshitsuneyama, and Benkei-dong.
If they don't visit there, they won't get that name.
What is the truth?
Actually, it is said that all of these things are stories made later.
The only historical fact that remains is that there was a statement that the name "Benkei" was in the Yoshitsune party who escaped from his brother Yoritomo . What is it?
If Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Minamoto no Yoritomo had not quarreled ⁉︎
They would have been holding hands with their brothers and enlivening the Kamakura Shogunate.
All the later generals of the Kamakura Shogunate were tragic deaths . Has been achieved.
It is said that Mr. Hojo, who is also the parents' house of Mr. Yoritomo's wife, was behind the scenes.
When defeating Taira, he used the power of Genji, and when he became the world of Genji, he was already obsolete.
Maybe Hojo was involved in the brotherhood quarrel between Yoshitsune and Yoritomo. It would be a nuisance if these two brothers joined hands.
Yoshitsune, who destroyed Taira, and his vassals were very threatening.
