However, Fujiwara Tadashi knew very well how sinister and sophisticated the Shirakawa Emperor was.
Even if I really do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life...
What's more, news had been received a few days ago that the 30,000-strong army raised by Taira Masamori's son, Taira Takaramori, from the northern realms, was heading towards Ping'an Capital.
When the army commanded by Taira Taira arrives, the Fujiwara clan may be destroyed by that time.
The fire in Heian-kyo had not yet been completely extinguished. After a battle with Emperor Na Shirakawa in Heian-kyo, the Fujiwara clan took the initiative to retreat to Namba-kyo.
Emperor Toba died tragically, and a fire that lasted for several days almost burned down the entire Heiankyo. Countless Japanese soldiers, civilians, and dignitaries were burned to death.
Even the royal family suffered numerous casualties. Emperor Shirakawa's two young sons and one daughter were also lost in the fire.
The fire in Heianjing and the news spread among the people who fled Heianjing.
The entire Japanese nation was shocked, regardless of whether Emperor Shirakawa wanted to kill the Fujiwara clan. It's the Fujiwara clan who wants to kill Emperor Shirakawa.
What's more, Emperor Tobaten also died at the hands of Fujiwara's retainers and samurai swords, but anyone with any brains would already understand.
That is, Emperor Shirakawa, the current leader of the Japanese royal family, has reached the point of fighting to the death with the Fujiwara clan, who has been in charge of the Japanese government for more than a hundred years.
And with the 30,000 soldiers and horses summoned by Commander Taira Takaramori from the northern part of the island, they appeared in the Gyeonggi Plain.
His children and grandchildren died tragically, so Emperor Shirakawa, who was almost extinct, did not hesitate to take charge of his own army and attack Namba Kyo.
This is the perfect opportunity to seize the opportunity and completely eliminate the Fujiwara clan who has been in charge of the Japanese government for more than a hundred years. If the Fujiwara clan is not killed, it will be a while.
Fujiwara Tadashi, who was seriously injured and dying, heard about the personal expedition of Emperor Shirakawa and headed straight for Namba Kyo.
Seeing the demise of the Fujiwara clan in front of him, Tadashi Fujiwara, who knew that his life was not long, slowly fell on his son, the eldest son Fujiwara Tadamichi, who was crying quietly there, and was only in his early ten years.
Reluctantly, he raised his hand, patted his son's head gently, and moved his eyes to his half-brother Fujiyoshi Kaataka, who was also kneeling in front of the couch.
"Kataka, this Namba Kyo is the place where I died, but the Fujiwara clan is still here."
"Lord..."
He glanced at this conscientious younger brother who had always followed him because of his low maternal status.
Fujiwara Tadayo signaled the waiter to come forward and handed the box to Fujiwara Ietaka.
"This is a token representing the elder of my Fujiwara clan, and it is also a treasure inherited from our Fujiwara clan..."
"Originally, it was supposed to be passed on to Tadayoshi, but now, if I want to keep Tadayoshi alive, I have to ask you to entrust this thing to Fujiwara Tadai."
"Only in this way can Zhongtong survive, and you, try your best to assist Zhongjing..."
"My lord..." Fujiwara Ietaka held the wooden box and bowed to the ground deeply.
"We, the Fujiwara clan, became a shogunate, but we never thought of taking it a step further. Instead, it was that boy Tadayai. I really admire him."
"Let's go quickly. I have asked them to prepare the boat. Fifty dead soldiers will protect you and some women and children of the Fujiwara clan to go to Kyushu, no, to the capital of Fujiwara..."

In less than an hour, Fujiwara Tadashi's third brother, Fujiwara Tadashi, Fujiwara Tadashi, took the Fujiwara family heirloom, the vermilion lacquer table plate, and Fujiwara Tadashi's legitimate son, Fujiwara Tadashi, boarded the ship and quietly left Namba Kyo.
The next day, Emperor Shirakawa led a large army to Namba Kyo, while Fujiwara Tadashi had already led his troops to retreat to Shitennoji.
And Fujiwara Tadashi is like a bastard eating a weight, determined to die from it.
Emperor Shirakawa was furious and ordered his troops to attack Shitennoji Temple. After three days of fierce fighting, Fujiwara Tadashi, who could no longer hold on, finally closed his eyes in the continuous flames of war.
In accordance with his last orders, the retainers around him burned his body before surrendering to Emperor Shirakawa.
After searching the entire Tennoji Temple, we could not find the vermilion lacquer table plate that represents the longevity token of the Fujiwara clan.
Emperor Baihe was furious and executed all the surrendered prisoners of war.
Just a few days after the fire in Heian Kyo was extinguished, Taira Masamori, who was waiting for help in Nagato Country, received the bad news that shocked him beyond measure.
Likewise, this news shocked the entire Japanese kingdom. No one expected that Heian Jinghui, which had been the capital of Japanese kings for hundreds of years, was destroyed in a fire that lasted for three days and three nights.
Nor did he expect that the Fujiwara clan of the Regent family, who had been in charge of the Japanese government for more than a hundred years, would kill the Emperor Toba who was only five or six years old.
What is even more unbelievable is that Emperor Shirakawa directly executed the Fujiwara clan of the Kitagawa family, who represented the Shokan family, in Shitennoji Temple.
Although the Fujiwara family has declined since Emperor Shirakawa implemented the imperial government, the Fujiwara family is not only the Northern family, but also the Southern family (originating from Takechimaro Fujiwara), the Yama family (originating from Fujiwara Ugo), and the Kyo family (originating from Fujiwara Ugo). Fujiwara Maro).
Emperor Shirakawa's method of killing everyone immediately made the other families start to panic.
Not long after, news came from Fujiwara Island that the vermillion lacquer table plate, a token of the Fujiwara clan's eldership, was presented to the current head of the Fujiwara Kingdom, Fujiwara Tadayi, by Fujiwara's loyal younger brother, Fujiwara Ietaka.
Fujiwara Tadayi also swore a poisonous oath in front of Fujiwara Kunifu, Fujiwara Ietaka and Fujiwara Tadaya's only heir, Fujiwara Tadayomichi.
We will definitely annihilate all the Shirakawa Emperors of the Japanese country, pacify the Japanese country, and use the revenge of the Fujiwara clan of the Snow Hoku clan to be executed.
He was also granted the official positions of Lord Protector and Governor of Fujiwara Ietaka. As for Fujiwara Tadashi, who was only eleven years old, he was given the title of Duke.

Emperor Shirakawa saw that nearly two-thirds of Heian Kyo was destroyed. In desperation, he could only temporarily move the capital to Namba Kyo.
His grandson, Emperor Toba, has passed away, and his two youngest sons, Prince Kakuhoho and Prince Shoeho, died in the war and fire that destroyed most of Heian Kyo.
In desperation, he could only let his beloved daughter, Prince Reikouchi, take over and become the new emperor, Emperor Ehito.
When Gao Zhang received the news from Fujiwara Island in Suzhou, he was shocked for several breaths, although he already felt that Yao Pingzhong's surprise attack plan was very awesome.
But I really didn't expect that this successful surprise attack on Heian Kyo would bring such great turmoil to the Japanese nation.
The first emperor was chopped to death with random swords, and the Fujiwara clan of the Shokanboku family, who had been in charge of the Japanese government for more than a hundred years, was executed by the old bald donkey Shirakawa royal family.
Although Emperor Shirakawa no longer had any men under his knees, he was not afraid at all and directly created a female Emperor Ehito.
The day continues, there are three more shifts
