Fujiwara no Motofusa Though wielding great power as " sesshō " and " kampaku " , Motofusa was prevented from becoming the head of the Fujiwara family by the political maneuvers of Taira no Kiyomori . An incident in 1170 , while Motofusa was on his way to the Hōjuji Palace , further cemented his rivalry with the Taira clan . The Regent , along with a large retinue , was making his way to the palace for a ceremony which the cloistered Emperor Go - Shirakawa was supposed to attend , when a young boy refused to make way for him and his retinue . As a result , the Regent ' s men smashed the boy ' s carriage and humiliated him .

These events , while seemingly minor on the surface , led to a rift between Emperor Go - Shirakawa and the Taira , and therefore to closer relations between Go - Shirakawa and the Minamoto , enemies of the Taira .

His decision was motivated by the fear that French units under general Canrobert , which had just reached the left bank of the Sesia , could cut in two his corps .
