However, just a few months later, Prince Mochihito was attacked by the Taira clan's army and died . The tragedy will come.
Ironically, after that, Genji and others from all over the country raised troops, and "Taira's destruction" . To achieve.
If he was alive, he might have been the emperor.
However, without this "decree", "not in the Heike, not in the people" It means that the era of was continuing.
So, let's introduce "Prince Mochihito" and its "Ryoji" that inspired Genji.
What kind of king is Prince Mochihito?
1151 , 77th Emperor Go-Shirakawa Emperor Born as the third prince of.
From an early age, he has been endowed with scholarly, singing, calligraphy and flute talents, and his maternal ancestry is good, succession to the throne . It was done.
By the way, Emperor Go-Shirakawa is his brother Sōtoku . Emperor , His child's Nijo Emperor (Brother of Prince Mochihito), Taira no Kiyomori A person who is involved in all the wars at that time, such as confronting San and others.
Shota Matsuda was played in the 2012 Taira no Kiyomori drama, and it was the role of standing in front of Kenichi Matsuyama, who played the role of Kiyomori.
Kiyomori and other Taira clan demons attack Prince Mochihito. The devil has a bit of a misnomer.
Go-Shirakawa is Taira no Shigeko 15 years younger She began to love her and later Takakura Emperor Give birth.
This Shigeko is the younger sister of Kiyomori's wife, and Kiyomori has her own daughter as Emperor Takakura's Empress . It was made.
It is said that Shigeko was obstructed by the disappearance of Prince Mochihito's succession to the throne, and Prince Mochihito " under the proclamation of the King ". I didn't receive it.
This "Imperial prince" is the highest title given to the boys of the emperor, and there is a big difference in the treatment after that.
Depending on the position of my mother, I may not be able to receive the sentence, but since Prince Mochihito and his brother and sister have been sentenced, it is believed that this was due to political reasons.
In this way, Prince Mochihito was kept away from the throne.
Prince Mochihito's troops!
Plan to overthrow the Heike? "Shishigatani Incident"!

1176 , Shigeko Taira, who supported the relationship between the imperial court and Mr. Taira, will die ..
The following year, Emperor Go-Shirakawa Enryakuji It causes trouble with.
After ordering Taira to attack Enryakuji, Emperor Shirakawa was reluctant to do so.
At that time, at Shishigatani Sanso, Taira overthrow meeting by Emperor Go-Shirakawa and others Was being done.
Kiyomori, who received the notification, captured the senior vassals of Emperor Shirakawa after attending the meeting instead of attacking Enryakuji Temple.
However, behind this case, there is a theory that Kiyomori-san's strategy was sandwiched between the imperial court and Enryakuji Temple.
He wanted to avoid the attack on Enryakuji Temple because of fear of punishment, and it was also a strategy of two birds with one stone to destroy the imperial court.
A coup d'etat called "Political change in the third year of Jisho"!
1177 "Shishigatani Incident" As a result, the relationship between Pope Go-Shirakawa and Mr. Kiyomori is in a critical situation.

Kiyomori's daughter, Moriko And his firstborn, Taira no Shigemori When he died one after another, he left the territory to a person close to him in the place where they were in the territory, and in a sense confiscated the territory.
On the other hand, in November, Kiyomori suddenly brought thousands of large troops to Kyoto, which made the relationship between the two decisive.
39 members of Go-Shirakawa's close associates were dismissed, and Go-Shirakawa himself Toba-den Moved to imprisoned will do.
Not only did Prince Mochihito lose his hope of succeeding to the throne, but he was also worried about the confiscation of territory at this time.

Despite being Genji, there was one military commander in his mid-70s who served Taira. Minamoto no Yorimasa It is a person named Mr.
Genji's fall 1159 Heiji Ran At that time, Mr. Yorimasa, who was close to Emperor Nijo, who was the emperor at that time, sided with Mr. Kiyomori, who was also on the side of Emperor Nijo.
For that reason, Mr. Yorimasa has a great deal of trust in Mr. Kiyomori, and for the first time as Genji, " Junior Third Rank " I will achieve an exceptional career advancement.
It was Mr. Yorimasa, but suddenly planned to raise a soldier to overthrow Mr. Taira with Mr. Mochihito To do.
Yorimasa's firstborn and Kiyomori's third son, Taira no Munemori Emperor Takakura who follows the flow of Mr. Taira in a system different from the dispute over his beloved horse that occurred with Mr. and the Emperor Nijo who served. And his child, Antoku Emperor There is a motive that he may have repelled the coronation of.
In this world of Taira's heyday, the reconstruction of Genji may have been hidden inside again.
The order of the Taira clan's follow-up!
"The violence of Kiyomori and Munemori is tilting the country and confusing the people. Furthermore, he is rebuking the imperial family for the imprisonment of Go-Shirakawa and the exile of his close associates, and ruining Buddhism.
If you do not respond to this recruitment, you will be considered similar to Kiyomori and will be guilty of death.
But if you're on your side, you'll definitely get a reward after I'm enthroned!

It is said that Prince Mochihito's army was only a few thousand, while Taira's army was tens of thousands.
Yorimasa, who was inferior in number, was prepared to lose the war, and when he was able to escape Prince Mochihito, he himself self-harm as his sons died one after another. Did.
Prince Mochihito escapes from Byodo-in Temple while being protected by about 30 horses, but Yamashiro Kuni He was caught up in (currently southern Kyoto) and was defeated when he hit an enemy's arrow and fell.
