Fujiwara no Yukinari may seem to have persuaded Emperor Ichijo for Michinaga's sake and to have gotten close to him in order to get promoted, but in reality he was a loyal retainer of Emperor Ichijo, and in reality, Emperor Ichijo knew that he had to do as Michinaga said, so Yukinari only logically persuaded him to give Emperor Ichijo a push. Emperor Ichijo especially trusted him deeply, to the point that he was entrusted with Prince Atsuyasu, but he could not choose to serve Michinaga privately. However, after the death of Emperor Ichijo, as Michinaga's power was established, he had no choice but to approach Michinaga in order to survive, and he increasingly behaved in the manner of the phrase "the nobility of those who are devoted to their work," such as by coming into conflict with Fujiwara no Sanenobu when he married Michinaga's son. In this article, we will introduce the life of Fujiwara no Yukinari, who tried to act for Emperor Ichijo as the most loyal retainer, but also recognized Michinaga as an indispensable authority for the stability of society, and continued to aim for the good of the whole while being caught between ideals and reality! ----------------------------------- References Sekiguchi Chikara, "Research on the Cultural History of the Sekkan Period" https://amzn.to/3UMc49G Kuroita Nobuo, "Fujiwara no Yukinari (Biographical Series)" https://amzn.to/3SyzteR Kuramoto Kazuhiro, "The Power and Desire of Fujiwara no Michinaga: Reading "Mido Kanpakuki" (Bunshun Shinsho 915)" https://amzn.to/4b5FiqJ ----------------------------------- Reki Shock Official Twitter / reki_shock_ Person in Charge Personal Twitter / rekishock0919 Reki Shock Website https://rekishock.com/ [Image Source] Official website of the Taiga Drama "Hikaru Kimi e" https://www.nhk.jp/p/hikarukimie/ts/1...
