Chapter 14 Volume 4 One to Five

one Itsukushima Rinyuki On the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Zhicheng (1180), at the Toba Hall, because the emperor had not obtained permission to enter the Taoist country, the Emperor also said that he should be cautious, so no one came to pay homage until the third day of the junior high.However, the son of the late Shao Nayan Rudao Xinxi, Sakuracho Nagan Cheng Fanqing, and his brother Xiu Fanqing, a doctor of Sakyo, were allowed to meet the Emperor.On the 20th day of the first lunar month, it was the day for wearing pants and eating fish in the East Palace [1], and a celebration ceremony was held, but in the Toba Hall, the Emperor only regarded it as someone else's business, just hearing about it.

On February 21st, Emperor Takakura had no symptoms, but was forced to take the Zen throne and let the East Palace practice Zuo.This is entirely due to the domineering and domineering of the Prime Minister.Everyone in the Ping family said that the fortune has arrived, and they all danced with joy.As usual, the three artifacts [2], the divine mirror, the divine seal, and the precious sword, were to be passed on to the new emperor.The ministers sat down at the saluting place, and everything was carried out according to the routine ceremony. The internal servant [3] held out the sword, and Lieutenant General Taitong took it to the west of Qingliang Hall.Then Beizhong's servant came out with the box containing the Shenxi Seal, Major General Longfang took it.The waiter thought that tonight might be the last time he held the casket of the artifact himself, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart.Shao Nayan's servant had other considerations, she should have held out the Shenxi casket, but she thought that if she took this casket, she would not be able to serve as the new emperor's servant for a long time, so she temporarily declined.Shao Nayan's servant was not young at that time, and people accused her of saying: "It is very unrealistic to expect to be youthful for the second time. Beizhong's servant was only sixteen years old at the time. Although he was young, he was willing to hold this treasure box." , This is indeed very precious." The treasures handed down from generation to generation were taken over one by one by the manager and sent to Wutiaodian [4], the temporary residence of the new emperor.Now the lights in the leisure courtyard where Emperor Gaocang lives are dim, and there are no rooster[5] to announce the dawn, and there are no longer guards and warriors to report by roll call.The left minister, Fujiwara Sutsumune, came to the hall where Gong Qinglie was sitting, and announced that Emperor Takakura had abdicated. Some soft-hearted people cried when they heard it.Even if Emperor Takakura voluntarily gave up the throne to the East Palace in order to live a quiet life in the harem in the future, it is normal to feel sad at this time, not to mention that he was forced to abdicate not out of his heart, so the feeling of sadness Love is beyond words.

The new emperor was only three years old at the time, and people said that it was too early for Donggong to practice Zuo this time.Ping Da Nayan Shi Zhongqing was the husband of the new emperor's wet nurse Shuai Dianshi [6]. He said: "Some people say that it is too early to give up the throne to the young emperor. In foreign countries, King Cheng of Zhou ascended the throne at the age of three, and Emperor Mu of Jin He ascended the throne at the age of two. In our dynasty, Emperor Konoe was three years old, and Emperor Rokujo was two years old. They were still wrapped in swaddling clothes and could not be officially crowned. Emperor Xiaoshang[7] ascended the throne within a hundred days of his birth. The Son of Heaven ascended the throne at a young age, and there is no shortage of precedents in the Han and Han countries.” However, some people of insight whispered at the time: “Oh, what are you talking about? It’s better not to say it. What a good precedent that is!” Donggong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the Xiangguo and his wife became the emperor’s grandfather and grandmother. 9], given to servants and servants, and those who come and go from the house are all dressed in beautiful warriors, just like a palace ban.After becoming a monk and entering the Tao, there is such glory.Obtaining the imperial conferment of the third empress as a monk is a precedent following the example of Faxingyuan's Daoist Taoist and family father[10].

In the first ten days of March, it was said that Emperor Takakura would visit Itsukushima, Anyi Country. People were very surprised, saying that the emperor abdicated, and that the shrines of visiting started from Hachiman, Kamo, and Kasuga. This is a common practice. Why should What about Anyi Country? It is puzzling.Someone said: "Emperor Shirakawa once visited Kumano, and Empress Goshirakawa once visited Hiyoshi Shrine. Now this visit is the emperor's opinion, and it has been carefully considered. Because Itsukushima is a shrine revered by the Heike family, this move seems to be in harmony with the Heike family. Concentric, in fact, it is for the emperor who is claustrophobic in the Toba Temple, to ease the antipathy of entering the Dao Xiangguo." But the monks at the mountain gate were very indignant when they heard this, and said: "If you are not lucky with Hachiman, Kamo, and Kasuga, then you should Linxing our Sanno Seven Shrines on Mt. It was postponed.Later, after many consolations from the Taoist Xiangguo, the monks at the mountain gate calmed down.

On March 18th, because the emperor was about to set off on a journey and visited Yandao, he first went to the mansion of Xibajo, Xiangguo.At dusk, Zong Shengqing, the former general on the right, was summoned and said: "Tomorrow, on the way of Linxing, I want to stop by the Toba Hall to meet the Emperor. What do you think? It would be inappropriate not to inform the Prime Minister." Zong Sheng said with tears: " There should be no hindrance!" The emperor said: "Then, you will tell the Toba Hall about this tonight." The former right general Zong Shengqing hurried to the Toba Hall to report to the Emperor.The Pope had been longing for it for a long time, so he said in disbelief, could this be a dream?

On the 19th, Omiya Da Nayan Long Jiqing came to urge the departure in the middle of the night.It has been said for a long time that I will visit Yandao, but now I have arrived at Xibajo, and I will finally make the trip.At that time, it was halfway through March, the waning moon was obscured by chaotic clouds, and the geese flying to the north were singing in the sky.Before dawn, we arrived at Toba Temple.I got out of the car in front of the door and walked in, only to see few people and shadows of trees. The place is so desolate, giving people a sense of desolation.It is late spring, and the leaves are lush and shaded; the flowers on the branches have faded early, and the warblers in the palace seem to be old.On the sixth day of the first month of last year, Xingxing Fa lived in the temple hall. When he had an audience with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, the orchestra played in unison, the ministers lined up, the guards lined up, all the officials and ministers led the way to welcome them, the curtain doors were opened, and the reed mats were laid out on the road; these formal ceremonies are not at all today. , It was like a dream.Cheng Fan Zhongnayan reported the arrival of the emperor, and the emperor moved to the center of the bedroom to wait for him.The emperor is twenty years old this year, under the moonlight in the early morning, he looks very handsome, very similar to his late mother, the Empress Jianchun Menyuan.When the emperor saw it, he couldn't help but shed tears when he remembered what had happened.The Pope and the Emperor sat very close to each other, and their conversations could not be heard by others.The old nun was the only one waiting in front of the imperial court.After talking for a long time, the sun had already risen, so we left and boarded a boat in Kusatsu, Toba, and set off.The emperor felt very sad when he saw the emperor living a quiet and lonely life in the palace.The Pope also thought of the Emperor's journey and camping in the wild, and he must feel exhausted on the boat, and he was very disturbed.This time, I am fortunate enough to leave Ise Shrine, Hachiman, and Kamo to pay respects to Itsukushima Myojin in the distant Aki Kingdom. I think it will be accepted by the gods and Buddhas, and what I pray for will definitely come true. There should be no doubts Bar.

-------------------------- 【1】Emperor Takakura's son, born to Hiratoko, was three years old. According to the custom at that time, he should wear pants and start eating fish at the age of three. 【2】These three items are national treasures of Japan.Shenxi, different from the jade seals of the Chinese court, is a kind of jade charm.Various kinds of jade are taken as hook jade, with a large head and a small tail, with holes in the head, threaded into a string, and hung under the neck as decoration.It is said that in ancient times, Amaterasu (Goddess of the Sun) hid, and there was no sunshine in the world, so the gods gathered together, made this string, sang and danced and laughed, to lure her out, and to shine on her with a mirror, so that she would not hide again. The origin of Xi.The sword was taken out from the eight-headed snake by the younger brother of Amaterasu, Suju Mingzun.

【3】The servant is a female official.Internal servant is an official position, and it is her father's official title, not her surname.According to the practice at the time, the palace called it this way.The following servants of Beizhong and Shaonayan are the same. 【4】The mansion of Dainagyan Banggang. [5] The person in the palace who announces the morning. [6] Norishi is the second official of the Internal Affairs Department, and Shuai is the official position of his father Fujiwara Akitoki Dazai Quanshuai. [7] Emperor Xiaoshang of the Later Han Dynasty ascended the throne in December of the first year of Yuanxing (105) and died in August of the second year.So it's not a good precedent.

[8] That is, the annual salary is drawn according to the specifications of the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and Empress. 【9】In order to increase the income of officials serving in the court, the title of local officials is also given, which is called "Nianguan"; 【10】After Fujiwara Kane became a monk, his mansion was built as Hokoji Temple, so it is called Hokoin Daisendo. -------------------------- two back to luang On the twenty-sixth day of the same month, the emperor arrived in Itsukushima and used the residence of the priestesses favored by the Prime Minister of Taoism as his residence.Stayed there for two days, held ceremonies such as chanting, dancing and music.The monk Gongxian of Mijing Temple is acting as a teacher. He boarded the high seat, and after ringing the bell, he explained the reason to the gods and Buddhas, and recited aloud: "Away from the nine-fold imperial capital, rushing through the eight-fold ocean waves, come here to visit, the sincerity of the heart, I'm really grateful." The emperor and his courtiers all shed tears when they heard this.Later, he worshiped one by one in the main palace and auxiliary palace of Yandao, as well as in other shrines and temples.When we arrived at the Waterfall Palace about five towns away from the main shrine along the mountain road, the monk Gongxian was composing a song and inscribed it on the pillar of the hall of worship:

A piece of white practice falls nine times, If you get married, you will be happy in your heart. The priest Saeki Keihiro was promoted to the top five, and the state secretary Sugawara Zaijing was also promoted to the bottom four, and he was granted permission to ascend to the palace in the upper palace.Itsukushima's seat master is immortalized as a seal.This time, the gods were also touched by the luck, and the mood of coming to the Taoist country will ease a little. On the twenty-ninth day, the emperor's royal boat unmoored and headed back, but due to the strong wind and waves at sea, it returned to Yandao and anchored at Alipu.The emperor said: "Maybe it's because the Great Ming God said goodbye, let's make a song." Major General Longfang sang:

Say goodbye to the boat back to Alipu, The gods help Bailang turn over. In the middle of the night, the wind and waves subsided, and the boat sailed again, arriving at Shikina Port in Bingo Country that day.During the Yingbao period, when the Empress Hou Baihe came to visit, Fujiwara, the governor of the country here, built a palace for the emperor to visit, but the emperor did not go ashore. "Today is the first day of April, and it's time to change into jackets in the capital." When mentioning this incident, the entourage missed the capital very much.The bright vines on the pine trees on the bank were in full bloom. When the emperor saw it, he called Longji Da Nayan over and said, "Bring a branch of that vine flower." , then asked him to fold.Kangding broke off a branch and offered it together with the pine branch.The emperor was very satisfied, and said happily: "Let's make a song about this flower." So Long Jida said: I wish the king a thousand years of life, Wisterias cling to pine branches. Then the emperor joked with the people around him, and jokingly said: "That witch in white must be thinking about Bang Gang very much." Everyone laughed.When Da Nayan was about to defend himself, a maid brought in a letter and said, "This is for the five Da Nayan." As she spoke, she presented the letter.Everyone immediately burst into laughter and said, "As expected!" When Dana Yan took it over to read, it was a waka: The sleeves soaked in the white waves are soaked, It's hard to pay for dancing. The emperor looked at it and said: "It's very elegant, let's have a song together." The emperor asked someone to bring him a pen and inkstone.So Dana made peace and said: Forgive Fangzi for not seeing her, Tears welled up in my eyes. After that, it anchored at Kojima in the Bizen country. On the fifth day, the sky was fine and the wind was calm, and the sea was very calm. The royal boat sailed ahead, and the boats accompanying the people followed behind, passing smoothly through the smog on the sea.On the same day, Youshi [1] arrived at Yamada Port in Harima Country.From there, I changed to an imperial chariot and went to Fukuhara.Although everyone in the entourage wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, on the 6th, the emperor stayed in Fukuhara for a whole day, enjoying the scenery everywhere.Even Chizhong Nayan Lai Shengqing's villa and the newly reclaimed land have been seen, and he left Fuyuan on seven days.Before leaving, Longji Da Nayan was ordered to bestow a reward on the Taoist Xiangguo family.The adopted son Tanba, who became Taoist, defended the Qing Dynasty, and was ranked as the fifth; his grandson Echizen, Major General Zisheng, who became Taoist, was ranked as the fourth.On the same day, he arrived at Sijing and returned to the capital on the eighth day.The ministers and ministers who went out to greet him all came to Kusatsu in Toba.When I returned to Luan, I stopped visiting the Toba Temple, and went directly to Xibajo, where I entered the Taoist country. On April 22 of the same year, the new emperor ascended the throne.The enthronement ceremony should have been held in the Taiji Hall, but it was not restored after being burned the year before last, so it was held in the main hall of the Taizhengguan.However, Kujo Gong Fujiwara Kanesi said: "The main hall of the Taizheng official is equivalent to the accountant's house in charge of miscellaneous affairs. Since there is no Taiji Hall, the grand ceremony should be held in the Zichen Hall." Then it was changed to the Zichen Hall.But another person said: "On November 1st of the fourth year of Baokang (967), Emperor Lengquan ascended the throne in the Zichen Hall. It was because the Lord was ill and could not visit the Taiji Hall. I am afraid it is not good to use this as an example. It is better to follow suit. The case of Emperor Yanjiu of the last three emperors (1069) was held in the main hall of Taizhengguan." However, since this matter has been decided by Kujo, there is no need to discuss it further.When the Eastern Palace practiced Zuo, the Central Palace moved from the Honghui Hall to the Renshou Hall, and carried the young emperor to the throne. The scene was very solemn.Almost all the members of the Ping family came to wait on him, only the princes of Mr. Xiaosong, because the minister died last year and they stayed at home for mourning, so it was inconvenient for them to come. -------------------------- 【1】You time is six o'clock in the afternoon. -------------------------- three Minamoto clan Tibetan Zaemon Quanzuo [1] Fujiwara Sadaga wrote ten pieces of thick paper carefully about the enthronement, the orderly manner, and the ceremonies, etc., and presented it to Mrs. 2】.The lady was all smiles, very happy.However, although this place is more than festive and lively, it is not peaceful outside. At that time, Prince Yiren, the second prince of Empress Hou Shirakawa, lived in Takakura in Sanjo, so it was called Takakura Palace.His mother is the daughter of Kaga Dana Yan Ji Chengqing.On December 16th of Yongman Year (1165), Prince Yiren was fifteen years old, and a crown ceremony was quietly held at the mansion of Konoe Kawara.He had good handwriting and outstanding talent and learning. He was supposed to inherit the throne, but the late Jianchun Menyuan [3] had suspicions about him, so he had to live in seclusion behind closed doors.Spring outing under the flowers, waving purple hairs in hand to compose poems; a month ago at the autumn feast, playing the jade flute and playing elegant sounds.In this way, the years passed, and in the fourth year of Zhicheng (1180), he was already thirty years old. One night, Minamoto Yorimasa [4] who lived in Konoe Kawara quietly came to the living room of Takakura Palace and said something very shocking.He said: "You are a descendant of the forty-eighth generation of Amaterasu, and you have been seventy-eight generations since Emperor Jinmu. Don't you feel sorry for being a prince? Looking closely at the current situation, there are countless people who obey the Ping clan on the surface but harbor resentment in their hearts. You can definitely raise troops and destroy the Ping family. The Emperor imprisoned in the Toba Temple can feel at ease, and you can also ascend to the throne of God, which is the greatest act of filial piety. If you can make up your mind, as long as you issue an order, there are quite a few Genji clans who are willing to serve you." Then He also said: "First of all, in Kyoto, there are the children of Mitsunobu Izuwa: Iga Mori Mitsuki [6], Izuha Judge Mitsucho, Dewa Kuroto Mitsushige, Dewa Crown Master Koneng; in Kumano there are six judges who are righteous. Juro Yoshimori, the youngest son of Juro Yoshimori, is living in seclusion; Tata Zangren Xingzuna in Settsu Kingdom, but when he was involved in the rebellion of his relatives and relatives in Shinda, he participated in it and betrayed him at the same time. He is an unfaithful and unjust person. People are not worth mentioning, but even so, there are his younger brothers Tada Jiro Tomoshi, Teshima champion Takayori, Ota Taro Laiki; Also; in the Yamato country, there are the sons of Uno Shichiro's own rule: Taro Yuji, Erlang Qingji, Saburo Chengji, and Shiro Yoshiji; Zhang Liang's members include Shigehiro Yamada Jiro, Shigenao Taro Kawabe, Shigemitsu Quantaro, Shigeto Urano, Shigeyori Yasujiro, Shigetsu Taro his son, Shigenaga Kitasaburo, Shigekuni Kaita, Dai Shigekuni, and Mr. Yajima Shigegao, his son Taro reincarnated; in the country of Kai there was Yoshikiyo who had seen the crown, his son Taro Kiyomitsu, Takeda Taro Nobuyoshi, Kaga Jianjiro Yuanguang, Kaga Kojiro Changqing, his son Taro Kiyomitsu, Takeda Taro Nobuyoshi, Kagami Jiro Tomitsu, Kaga Kojiro Nagaki, Ichijo Jiro Tadayori, Sakagaki Saburo Kanshin, Itami Hei Yuyoshi, Takeda Goro Nobumitsu, Yasuda Saburo Yoshinori; in Shinano there is Ouchi Taro Yui Yoshinori, Okada crowner Oyoyoshi, Hiraga crowner Mori Yoshinobu, his son Shiro Yoshinobu, Mr. Swordsman [8] Yoshinaka's second son Kiso crowner Yoshinaka; in Izu country there is the former right soldier guard Saraitomo who was exiled In the country of Hitachi there is Mr. Shintasaburo [9] Yoshiken, Satake crowned Masahiro, his sons Taro Tadayoshi, Saburo Yoshimune, Shiro Takayoshi, and Goro Yoshiki; in the Mutsu country there is the late Sabatou Yoshi The youngest son of the dynasty, Jiulang Guanzhe Yijing [10] and so on. All of these people are descendants of the sixth grandson king [11], and the descendants of Manchu Tada who entered the Tao. The difference between good and bad, but now it's like a cloud of mud, it's not as good as the relationship between master and servant. Minamoto clan members, those in various countries, are subordinate to the state secretary; those in the manor are subordinate to the general manager; My heart is very depressed, if you are determined, as long as you give an order, those people will definitely rush to gather under your command day and night, and destroying the Heike family is just around the corner. Although I am old, I will lead my children to come to listen to you." Gao Canggong didn't know what to do after hearing this, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.Previously, the grandson of Akomaru Dainagyan Zongtongqing and the son of the former Bigoku Kingdom Jitong, Shaonayan Yichang, who was proficient in the art of Fengjian, was called Fengjian Shaonayan.When he visited Gaocanggong, he once said: "You have a chancellor who is on the throne, and you can't give up on the affairs of the world." Now the three Yuanyuans persuaded him so, so Gaocanggong thought: "This is probably the destiny. Let’s go, it must be the enlightenment of God Amaterasu.” So he made up his mind and started planning.First of all, Juro Yoshimori from Kumano was summoned, appointed him as a Tibetan, changed his name to an expert, and asked him to go to the east country to deliver orders. On April 28th of the same year, the expert set off from the capital, first went to Omi, and then went to Mino and Owari to preach all the Genji.Hojo, who arrived in Izu country on May 10, conveyed the prince's order to the former soldier Yoritomo Sagen who was exiled there.Mr. Shintasaburo Yoshiken is the elder brother of the expert, so of course it should be conveyed to him, so he went to the floating island in Shinta County of Hitachi.And because Yoshinaka, the crown prince of Kiso, is the nephew of the expert, he should also be informed, so he went to Zhongshan Road again. At that time, Kumano Beto Zhanzou was very loyal to the Heike family, and for some reason, he also heard the news.He said: "I heard that Shingong Juro Yoshimori received the order from Takakura Palace and conveyed it to all Mino and Owari Minamoto clansmen. It seems that they are about to rebel. Those people in Zhixin Palace will definitely help Genji, Zhan Zeng received the kindness of the Heike family, the sky is high and the earth is thick, how can he betray him, first destroy the arrogance of the Zhixingong people, and then report to the Heike family." So he led a thousand soldiers and called the Xingong where to go.On the Xingong side were Torii Hogan[12] and Gaofang Hogan, as well as the samurai Ui, Suzuki, Mizuya, Strider, and others. On the Nachi side was headed by the executive Hogan[13], with a total of more than 2,000 people.The two sides shouted loudly, the arrows pointed at each other, Genji shot over, Heike shot over; both sides shouted unabated, and the sound of arrows continued to fight for three days.Kumano Biedang Zhanzeng's troops suffered all casualties, and Zhanzeng himself was also injured, so he managed to survive and fled to Kumano Hongu. -------------------------- [1] That is, as a Tibetan, he is also the additional deputy of Zuoweimen Lieutenant. 【2】The wife of Taoist Xiangguo is the grandmother of the young emperor. 【3】See Note 2 of Section 10 of Volume One. 【4】He is a descendant of Minamoto Yorimitsu, belonging to the Dayu Genji clan, and Minamoto Yoshitomo, who died in the Heiji Rebellion, is his brother.He is both civil and military, and is quite promising. 【5】Father and son are handed down as one generation. The so-called "generation" here refers to the succession of the emperor. During this period, there are brothers successively, so counting by generation is more than generation. 【6】The following people are members of the Minamoto clan. The first two characters of the names listed here are the place names of their current residences, the last two characters are their own names, and the middle two or four characters indicate their ranking, official position or other status. 【7】The judge is the judge who guards the emperor, empress, and concubine, and is responsible for guarding the harem.The lieutenants (third-class officials) of Jianfeiweishi, Bingweifu, and Weimenfu are called judges. 【8】Mr. Dao is the prince's chief security officer. [9] Abbreviation for Mr. Dao. [10] The son of Minamoto Yoshitomo, the half-brother of Minamoto Yoshitomo, who is the ninth in line, so he is called Kuro. [11] Yuan Jingji is the son of Prince Zhenchun, the sixth son of Emperor Qinghe (reigned from 858 to 876), so he is called the sixth grandson king.Later, he was reduced to a ministerial status and given the surname Yuanshi, who was the ancestor of Yuanshi.Yuan Manzhong is his son, who lives in Tada in Settsu country. 【12】Fayan is a monk official second only to Fayin. 【13】Executive Dharma Eye: The monk who is in charge of all the affairs of the monastery is called execution.Fayan is an official rank, and execution is an official position. -------------------------- Four Weasel Emperor Hou Shirakawa has been worried: "Maybe he will be exiled to a distant place, to a deserted island." But he lived in the Toba Palace in the south of the city for two years. At noon on May 12 of the same year, many weasels appeared in the Toba Temple running around.The Emperor was shocked when he saw this, so he did a divination himself, and then summoned Omi Shounakaken, who was still called Tsuruzo at that time, and said, "Show this oracle to Taiqin, let him find out the good and bad, and send it to you." The divination and interpretation are ready." Zhong Jian took the divination text and went to Yinyangtou Abe Taiqin.But Taiqin was not at the residence, and said he had gone to Baichuan, so he rushed there to look for it.Seeing the Thai relatives, he conveyed the emperor's will, and the Thai relatives immediately wrote the divination results.Zhong Jian rushed back to the Toba Hall and wanted to enter through the gate, but the gate guards would not allow him.But he was familiar with the path, so he climbed over the low wall, climbed in from under the wide corridor, and presented the divination and interpretation of Thai relatives to the emperor through the gap in the corridor.The Pope opened it and saw that it said: "There will be joy in three days, but there will also be sorrow." The Pope said: "There may be joy, but as for sorrow, I have fallen to this point, what can be sad Woolen cloth." However, the former right general Zong Shengqing repeatedly begged to enter the Dao Xiangguo on behalf of the Emperor, and finally agreed to reconsider it, so on May 13th, the Emperor was moved from the Toba Hall to the Mifukumon Temple in Hachijo Karasuma [1] 】.The saying "there will be celebrations within three days" by Taiqin refers to this matter. At this moment, the messenger sent by Kumano Biedang Zhanzeng also came to the capital and reported the rebellion in Takakura Palace.The former right general Zong Shengqing was taken aback, and immediately told the Taoist Xiangguo who lived in Fukuhara.The Taoist Prime Minister couldn't wait for the emissary to finish speaking, so he hurried back to the capital and said: "There is no other way, but to arrest Takakura Palace immediately and exile to Banta in Tosa." Poor, take the lead in distinguishing [2] Guangya went to investigate.At the same time, he ordered Kangan [3] Kanatsuna and Izuba Judge Mitsuna to lead the troops to the residence of Takakura Palace.This Yuan Dafu judge is the second son of the three Yuan Laizheng.However, at this time the Heike family did not know that the rebellion of Takakura Palace was instigated by the three Taoists. -------------------------- 【1】It was originally the residence of Emperor Toba. [2] He also served as the judge of the Tibetan head. 【3】Doctor judge is a five-rank officer who inspects non-violation envoys. -------------------------- Fives Xinlian On the night of May 15th, Gao Canggong was admiring the bright moon in the clouds at home, and never thought that something had leaked.At this time, someone claimed to be the three envoys who had entered the Tao, and hurried over with a letter.Zongxin, the son of Takakura Palace's wet nurse, received the letter and sent it to Takakura Palace. The letter said: "Your Highness' plan has been exposed, and the Taoist said that you will be exiled to Tosa's Banta. I have already set off to welcome you. Your Highness, please move to Mijing Temple as soon as possible, and I will go there immediately." Gao Cang Gong was panicked and at a loss.One of the samurai attendants named Changbing Wei Xinlian said: "There is no other way to think about now, but to escape by pretending to be a woman." Gao Canggong also felt that this was the only way to escape, so he loosened his hair and put on a cloak. Putting on the female hat, Mousin Rokujo Sadoshi held the umbrella, and another boy servant named Tsurumaru put the cloth bag containing the things on his head, as if a young attendant was going to greet the lady, and set off like this .Fleeing north along the Gaocang path, there was a big ditch on the road, and Gaocanggong jumped over it with a light jump.A passer-by said in amazement: "This woman is so unsteady, how can she jump into a ditch like this!" Gao Canggong didn't care about this, and hurried over. Wei Xinlian, the Changbing Guard, stayed behind in the palace. He asked the female officials to find a place to hide, and he packed up the things that seemed inappropriate. bedside.Xinlian thought to himself, if Gaocanggong thought of this flute, he might come back to get it, so he said: "This is terrible, Gaocanggong's favorite flute can't be left behind." So he chased it out.After catching up with the master at a place far away from the five towns of Wangfu, Gao Canggong was very happy and said: "If I die, put this flute in the coffin." Then said: "You also go together Let's go." Xinlian said: "Now the escort who came to pick him up is about to arrive, and there is no one at home. It is well known that Xinlian has been waiting at home, but he suddenly disappeared tonight. They will say that the guy actually I also escaped. Wouldn’t it damage the reputation of a person holding a bow and arrow? This is absolutely not allowed. I will go back to deal with those guards, and catch up after I beat them back.” After finishing speaking, he went back.That day Changbei was wearing a waist armor embroidered with light green thread under his light blue hunting clothes, and he was carrying Weifu's waist knife【1】.He opened all the gates to the three main roads and the side gates to the Gaocang alley, and waited for the guards to arrive. Dr. Minamoto Kanatsuna and Dewa Judge Mitsunaga led an army of more than 300 horsemen and surrounded the palace of Takakura Palace at midnight on the 15th.Doctor Yuan and judge had other plans in mind, and reined in the horse far outside the door.Judge Deyu Guangchang rode straight into the palace, immediately in the courtyard, and shouted loudly: "There is a report saying that you are going to rebel, and I am waiting for the prosecution to meet you. Please come out quickly. Wei Xinlian, the guard of the Changbing Army, stood on the wide corridor and said, "The prince is not at the mansion. He has gone out to worship Buddha. If you have anything to do, please tell me." Where! Don't listen to his nonsense, go in and search!" After hearing this, Wei Xinlian, the guard of the Changbing Army, said, "You servants are so unreasonable! It is wrong to enter the palace on horseback, and it is not proper to ask your subordinates to go in and search. I have my Zuobing Weiwei Hasebe Xinlian here, don’t go forward, lest I hurt you!" Among the guards in the Jian Feiwei Office, there was a strong man named Jin Wu, who jumped onto the wide corridor and went straight Chang Bingwei went away, and the other guards saw him and followed.Changbei cut off the tie on the hunting clothes, took them off, and at the same time drew Weifu's waist knife.The waist knife was carefully crafted, so he let go of his hands and feet and began to chop and kill.The guards were holding big waist knives and long knives, and they were killed by Xinlian's waist knives, like a gust of wind sweeping dead leaves, and the ground was full of corpses and broken limbs in an instant. It was the night of May 15th, and the moon appeared from the clouds. It was very bright. The guards were not familiar with the situation of the palace, so they were chased to the corridor over there, and they were stabbed; cut it.Someone asked: "Why did you resist the envoy of Xuanzhi?" Xinlian asked back: "What is Xuanzhi!" Another fourteen or five powerful enemies were cut down.At this time, the tip of the saber was broken off by about three inches. Seeing that they were outnumbered, they planned to disembowel themselves, but when they touched their waist, the dagger was gone.As a last resort, he wanted to escape through the side door leading to Gaocang alley, when a man with a long knife came to him.Xin Lian tried to jump over the long knife, but it was too late, and he was cut in the leg.Although he had a brave temperament, he was no match for so many people, and was finally captured alive.Afterwards, the palace was searched carefully, but Gaocang Palace was not found, so Xinlian had to be brought to Liupoluolai alone. The Taoist Xiangguo sat behind the curtain.The former right general Zong Shengqing was standing on the wide corridor. When he saw Xinlian being brought into the yard, he shouted and asked, "Hey, what do you mean by promulgating the decree and hacking and killing officials indiscriminately? You are the guy? You still kill and chop the wounded There are a lot of officers who prosecuted non-violators of the embassy, ​​and they will be interrogated strictly, asked about the reasons, and then taken to Heyuan to be beheaded." After hearing this, Xinlian was not afraid, looked up and laughed loudly: "I heard that people come here every night recently. I didn't think it was a big deal to spy on the palace, and I didn't pay attention to it. Tonight, a man in armor broke in and asked who he was, and said he was the messenger of the decree. Those bandits, pirates, robbers, etc. , often claiming to be the son of the Gongqing family, or the emissary of the decree. So I said what was called the decree, and I hacked and killed it. If I prepared carefully, wore armor, and held a steel knife, those so-called officials might be None of them can go back alive. I don’t know where the prince is now, but even if I knew, I would never tell as a warrior, what’s the use of torture and interrogation!” After finishing speaking, he stopped talking.Many Heike samurai present said: "He is such a brave man, it is a pity, he should not have been killed." Some of them said: "That year when we were in the warrior's place [2], there were six robbers, and everyone resisted them. Can't stop, he chased after him alone, cut down four people, and captured two people alive, so he was appointed as the left guard, he is really a warrior who can be worth a thousand." Everyone praised.Therefore, the Taoist Xiangguo changed his mind and exiled him to Hino in Boqi.Later, when Genji came to power, Xinlian went east to Kamakura. When he passed the three sceneries of Kajiharadaira, he reported the whole story of the incident one by one. territory of the country. -------------------------- [1] The Weifu waist knife was originally a practical weapon, and later became a gorgeous decoration.
