English: As Yorimori, at the age of 33, only held the rank of Shoshiinoge, Shuri no daibu, it was apparent that his position within the clan had become lower.
Japanese: 頼盛は33歳で正四位下・修理大夫に過ぎず、一門における地位の低下は明らかであった。
English: We cannot know how Yorimori viewed the quick promotion of his nephew; however, in 1164, when Kiyomori dedicated 33 scrolls of the soshokukyo ("Heike Nokyo" (sutras dedicated by the Taira family) to Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, Yorimori, Shigemori, Tsunemori, and Norimori all took part in copying the sutra.
Japanese: 頼盛が甥の急速な昇進をどのように見ていたかは知る由もないが、長寛2年（1164年）、清盛が装飾経33巻（『平家納経』）を厳島神社に奉納した際は、重盛・経盛・教盛らとともに書写に携わった。
English: As Emperor Nijo died in 1165 and Motozane KONOE, Sessho (regent), in 1166, the group directly responsible for the administration of the government under Emperor Nijo collapsed, and political faction supporting Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa was revived.
Japanese: 永万元年（1165年）に二条天皇が、永万2年（1166年）に摂政・近衛基実が相次いで死去したことにより、二条親政派は瓦解して後白河院政派が息を吹き返した。
English: In September, Yorimori was appointed to the post of dazai daini (senior assistant governor-general of Government Headquarters in Kyushu), and on September 30, he was awarded the court rank of Jusanmi, thereby becoming the third member of the Taira clan to join the ranks of Kugyo.
Japanese: 頼盛は7月に大宰大弐となり、仁安(日本)と改元された8月27日には従三位に叙せられて、平氏で3人目の公卿となった。
English: On the same day, FUJIWARA no Narichika became Sangi, and FUJIWARA no Shigenori was awarded the court rank of Jusanmi, showing that In no Kinshin were being rapidly promoted.
Japanese: この同じ日には藤原成親が参議となり、藤原成範が従三位に叙せられるなど、院近臣の躍進が目立った。
English: Aiming to enhancing his own political power, with support of Kiyomori, Goshirakawa was able to have Prince Norihito (who later became Emperor Takakura) formally installed as Crown Prince (rittaishi).
Japanese: 自らの政治力強化を目指す後白河は、清盛の協力により憲仁親王（後の高倉天皇）の立太子を実現させた。
English: On November 11, a ceremony to mark Prince Norihito's elevation to Crown Prince was conducted with members of Kugyou and of the Taira clan in attendance, and Kiyomori was appointed to the post of Togu no daibu (Master of the Crown Prince's Quarters).
Japanese: 10月10日、立太子の儀式が公卿や平氏一門の出席のもと盛大に執り行われ、清盛は春宮大夫に任じられる。
English: Yorimori did not attend the ceremony, as he had moved to Dazaifu to assume his duties as the dazai daini.
Japanese: 頼盛は大宰大弐として現地に赴任していたため、この式典には欠席している。
English: As it had been standard practice at that time that the chief of Dazaifu remained in the capital rather than relocating to the Province, Yorimori's action was incomprehensible, even taking into consideration the fact that he aimed to directly assume control of trade between Japan and Sung China.
Japanese: 大宰府の長官は現地に赴任しないのが当時の慣例になっていて、日宋貿易を直接掌握する狙いがあったとしても不可解な行動といえる。
English: On November 29, immediately following the elevation of Prince Norihito to Crown Prince, Yorimori was appointed to the post of Kotaigogu gon no daibu (Provisional Master of the Empress Dowager's Household), while the Kotaigo (Empress Dowager) was FUJIWARA no Teishi.
Japanese: 憲仁立太子直後の28日に頼盛は皇太后宮権大夫に任じられているが、この時の皇太后は藤原呈子だった。
English: It seems that Yorimori felt a close affinity with Teishi, as she was an adopted daughter of Bifukumonin.
Japanese: 呈子は美福門院の養女だったので、頼盛は親近感を抱いていたと思われる。
English: Yorimori's actions are considered to have caused disarray in the clan that became a problem for Kiyomori; however, as it is was not disadvantageous to increase the presence of the Taira clan in Kyushu, it is assumed that Kiyomori remained silent, implicitly consenting to Yorimori's undertakings to a certain extent.
Japanese: 清盛にとって一門の足並みを乱す頼盛の行動は問題だったが、九州に平氏の勢力を広げること自体は悪い話ではなかったので、多少の黙認はしていたものと考えられる。
English: When the Emperor visited In no gosho (the retired Emperor's court) in January 1167, Yorimori was awarded the court rank of Shosanmi, though he was in Kyushu at the time.
Japanese: 仁安2年（1167年）正月に六条天皇が院御所に行幸すると、頼盛は九州にいたにも関わらず正三位に叙せられている。
English: On June 6, before Kiyomori's resignation, an informal Imperial Order to search and destroy pirates and bandits along the Tosando, Tokaido, Sanyodo and Nankaido thoroughfares was issued to Shigemori (a similar entry for the same day is found in the "Heihanki" (diary of TAIRA no Nobunori).
Japanese: それに先立つ5月10日、重盛に対して東山・東海・山陽・南海道の山賊・海賊追討宣旨が下される（『兵範記』同日条）。
English: With this order, Shigemori was officially invested with authority over the national military and police forces, and he also succeeded Kiyomori as head of the Taira clan.
Japanese: これにより、重盛は国家的軍事・警察権を正式に委任されることになり、清盛の平氏棟梁の地位は重盛に継承されることになった。
English: In September, TAIRA no Munemori, a younger brother of Shigemori, was promoted to Sangi, becoming the forth member of the Taira clan to join the ranks of Kugyo.
Japanese: 8月には重盛の弟・平宗盛が参議に昇進して、平氏4人目の公卿となった。
English: In April 1168, as an Imperial letter permitting Teishi to use the word "In" in her title was issued, and she became Kujoin, whereupon Yorimori resigned as Kotaigogu gon no daibu.
Japanese: 翌仁安3年（1168年）3月、呈子が院号宣下を受けて九条院となったため、頼盛は皇太后宮権大夫を辞任する。
English: This Imperial letter was issued as a measure to force Teishi out as Empress Dowager, thereby creating a vacancy in the Empress position, with Shigeko assume the position of Kotaigo.
Japanese: この院号宣下は后位に空席を設けるための追い出し工作であり、入れ替わりに滋子が皇太后となる。
English: In September, Norimori, an elder brother of Yorimori's who held a lower rank than him was appointed as Sangi, becoming the fifth member of Kugyo from the Taira clan.
Japanese: 8月、頼盛より位階が下の兄・教盛が参議に任じられ、平氏5人目の公卿となる。
English: On November 26, Yorimori at long last was appointed as Sangi; however, only a month later, on January 4, 1169, Yorimori and his son, Yasumori, were dismissed from all official positions.
Japanese: 10月18日、頼盛はついに待望の参議となるが、わずか一月後の11月28日、子の保盛とともに全ての官職を解官されてしまう。
English: They were dismissed from office because Yasumori had failed each time to carry out Goshirakawa's instructions in performing his duties in relation to the maihimesannyu (entrance of the dancers) and goran (watching the dance) ceremonies that were part of the gosetsu no sechie, and that Yorimori failed to be in attendance at Shigeko's first entry at Court as an Imperial Consort (daihajime) on May 12, without having submitted an application for leave, even though he had visited Itsukushima-jinja Shrine on a pilgrimage, and also because he had failed to perform allocated works related to the Daijoe, though he was obliged to do so in his capacity as Controller of Chinzei (Kyushu).
Japanese: 解官の理由は、保盛については五節の節会で舞姫参入・御覧の儀式の勤めを、後白河の指示に従わず毎度怠ったこと、頼盛については、3月26日の滋子の代始めの入内に奉仕しなかったこと、休暇願いを出さずに無断で厳島神社に参詣したこと、鎮西を知行していたにも関わらず大嘗会関係の課役を勤めなかったことだった。
English: Because these were matters related to enthronement of Takakura and his wife, Shigeko, Goshirakawa's anger was enormous (see the entry from November 28, 1168 in the "Heihanki").
Japanese: 高倉の即位や妻の滋子に関することであったため、後白河の怒りは激しいものがあった（『兵範記』仁安3年11月28日条）。
English: The punishment did not stop there, and in January, six vassals of Yorimori were dismissed (see the entry for December 13, 1168 in the "Heihanki").
Japanese: 処罰はそれだけにとどまらず、12月には頼盛の家人6名が解官される（『兵範記』12月13日条）。
English: Since they were military aristocrats holding military offices, Yorimori's military foundation was completely decimated.
Japanese: 彼らは武官職にある軍事貴族であり、頼盛の軍事的基盤は粉砕されてしまった。
English: There is a possibility that Kiyomori was behind these dismissals, intending them as a means of protecting Shigemori's position by placing Yorimori, who sometimes showed a tendency to act independently, under complete control.
Japanese: 解官の背景には、独自の動きを見せていた頼盛を完全な統制下に置くことで、重盛の地位を守ろうとする清盛の意思が介在していた可能性もある。
English: Yorimori's loss of status stretched out over a year, until he allowed to reenter service in November 1169.
Japanese: 頼盛の失脚は一年の長きに渡り、出仕が許されたのは嘉応元年（1169年）11月だった。
English: After returning to service in the political sphere, Yorimori seemed to have fully realized the extent of Kiyomori's power, and took on a more obedient demeanor.
Japanese: 政界復帰後の頼盛は、清盛の力の大きさを痛感したらしく従順な行動をとるようになる。
English: It also seems that Kiyomori judged it to be an imprudent policy to completely exclude Yorimori, and thereafter he looked for ways to have Yorimori act as his right hand man.
Japanese: 清盛も頼盛を完全に排除するのは得策でないと判断したようで、以後は自らの手足として積極的に活用する動きが見受けられる。
English: In December 1169, when a group of priests from Enryaku-ji Temple tried to submit a petition requiring the exiling of FUJIWARA no Narichika, Yorimori, together with Shigemori and Munemori, were on placed on standby, taking command of the Imperial troops.
Japanese: 嘉応元年（1169年）12月、延暦寺の大衆が藤原成親の流罪を要求して強訴を起こした時、頼盛は重盛・宗盛とともに官兵を率いて待機していた。
English: With Goshirakawa's proclamation of his aim to protect Narichika, the situation was threatening to degenerate into open conflict, and Kiyomori called Yorimori and Shigemori to Fukuhara and asked them to report situations.
Japanese: 後白河が成親擁護の方針を打ち出して抗争が激化すると、清盛は福原に頼盛・重盛を呼び出して状況を報告させている。
English: Hachijoin was a daughter of Bifukumonin to whom her father and mother had assigned most of their private estates, bestowing upon her great wealth and military power, which she later used to back Emperor Nijo as his junbo (a woman who was given the status equivalent to the emperor's birth mother).
Japanese: 八条院は美福門院の娘で、父母から荘園の大半を譲られて大きな財力・武力を有し、二条天皇の准母としてその後ろ盾となっていた。
English: Even after the faction responsible for direct administration of the government under Emperor Nijo collapsed, her influence was not decreased, and she was a person with whom Goshirakawa and the Taira clan did not want to become enemies.
Japanese: 二条親政派が瓦解してもその勢力は衰えず、後白河や平氏にとっては敵に回すことが憚られる存在だった。
English: Yorimori was somewhat estranged from Kenshunmonin, but he had connection with Hachijoin through Bifukumonin, and their residences were adjacent to each other.
Japanese: 頼盛は建春門院とは疎遠だったが、八条院とは美福門院以来のつながりがあり、邸宅も接していた。
English: Menoto of Hachijoin was, Saisho no tsubone, a daughter of MINAMOTO no Kunifusa, and Yorimori had married Saisho no tsubone's daughter, Dainagon no tsubone, who was nyobo (a court lady in the service of Hachijoin); a child named Mitsumori was born to Yorimori and Dainagon no tsubone.
Japanese: 八条院の乳母は源国房の娘で宰相局と呼ばれていたが、頼盛は宰相局の娘で八条院女房の大納言局を妻に迎え、光盛が生まれている。
English: As Mitsumori was born in 1172, it is inferred that they were married in 1171 or earlier.
Japanese: 光盛は承安(日本)2年（1172年）の生まれなので、両者の婚姻は承安元年（1171年）以前と見られる。
English: It is supposed that he had sought the protection of Hachijoin, most probably because he lost his patron when the Kotaigogu gon no daibu resigned.
Japanese: おそらく皇太后宮権大夫を辞任したことで拠り所を失ったため、八条院の庇護を求めたものと推測される。
English: Subsequently, Yoritomo returned 33 private estates (shoen, manor in medieval Japan) to Yorimori, and in consideration of the fact that 14 out of 33 were estates that belonged to Hachijoin, we can judge the closeness of their relationship (see the entry for May 24, 1184, in the "Azuma Kagami" (The Mirror of the East).
Japanese: 後に頼朝は荘園33ヶ所を頼盛に返還しているが、そのうちの14ヶ所が八条院領だったことを見ても関係の深さがうかがえる（『吾妻鏡』元暦元年4月6日条）。
English: However, his progress up the ranks during this period was wanting, and he remained at Shosanmi, Sangi for a long time.
Japanese: しかし、この間の官位の昇進ははかばかしいものではなく、長らく正三位・参議のままだった。
English: Even so, Yorimori maintained his outward comportment, as can be seen from the fact that, in accordance with Kiyomori's instruction, Yorimori accompanied the ceremony marking the promotion of Motomichi KONOE to the court rank of Jusanmi in September 1174, and attended the ceremony to celebrate Goshirakawa's age of 50 years old held in Hojuji-dono Palace together with other members of the clan in April 1176.
Japanese: それでも頼盛は、承安4年（1174年）8月、近衛基通の従三位叙位の拝賀に清盛の指示で付き従い、安元2年（1176年）3月、後白河の50歳の賀のため法住寺殿で催された式典に一門の人々とともに出席するなど、表向きは協調の姿勢を見せていた。
English: Upon the death of Kenshunmonin in August 1176, tensions between Goshirakawa and Taira clan which had been kept below the surface broke out into open contention.
Japanese: 安元2年（1176年）7月に建春門院が死去したことで、今まで隠されていた後白河と平氏の対立が表面化する。
English: On the same day, FUJIWARA no Narinori was also promoted to Gon Chunagon, and FUJIWARA no Sadayoshi and Mitsuyoshi were selected as Kurodo no to (Head Chamberlain), over a number of other strong candidates.
Japanese: 同日、藤原成範も権中納言となり、藤原定能・光能が他の有力候補者を押しのけて蔵人頭に抜擢されている。
English: As everyone that was promoted was In no Kinshin, the influence of Goshirakawa can readily be seen.
Japanese: 彼らはいずれも院近臣であり、その昇進には後白河の意向が大きく反映していた。
English: Yorimori's promotion under circumstances in which there was contention between the Goshirakawa and Taira clans is said to reflect the fact that Yorimori's position as a trusted vassal of Goshirakwa was more significant than his status as a member of Taira clan.
Japanese: 後白河と平氏が対立している状況で頼盛の昇進が実現したのは、平氏一門であるよりも後白河近臣としての側面が大きかったことを物語っている。
English: In 1177, the appointments of Shigemori and Munemori to the posts of Sadaisho (Major Captain the Left Division of Inner Palace Guards) and Udaisho (Major Captain of the Right Division of Inner Palace Guards), respectively, and Goshirakawa's paying a visit to Fukuhara seemed to indicate that tensions had eased; however, the fissure was deepened when, in May 1177, Enryaku-ji Temple launched a strong campaign directly petitioning for the banishment of FUJIWARA no Morotaka, Kaga no kami (the governor of Kaga Province).
Japanese: 翌安元3年（1177年）、重盛・宗盛がそれぞれ左大将・右大将となり、後白河が福原を訪問したことで対立は緩和されたかに見えたが、4月に延暦寺が加賀守・藤原師高の流罪を要求して強訴を起こすと亀裂は逆に深まっていく。
English: Adopting propositions put forth by Saiko, Morotaka's father, Goshirakawa took stern measures against Enryaku-ji Temple, dismissing Myoun of Tendai-zasu (head priest of the Tendai sect), and banishing him to Izu no kuni (Izu Province).
Japanese: 後白河は延暦寺に対して強硬策をとり、師高の父・西光の進言で天台座主・明雲を解任、伊豆国に配流した。
English: A group of priests from Enryaku-ji Temple then freed Myoun, as a result of which Goshirakawa summoned Kiyomori from Fukuhara, and ordered him to attack Enryaku-ji Temple.
Japanese: 延暦寺の大衆が明雲の身柄を奪還したため、後白河は福原から清盛を呼び出して延暦寺への攻撃を命じる。
English: Having no choice but to comply, Kiyomori dispatched troops; however, he held a deep seated resentment against Goshirakawa and Saiko for causing the situation to deteriorate.
Japanese: 清盛はやむを得ず出兵を承諾するが、内心では事態の悪化を招いた後白河と西光に憤りを抱いていた。
English: On July 5, just before attack was to be launched, a conspiracy to topple the Taira clan was revealed through a betrayal by Yukitsuna TADA (the Shishigatani Incident).
Japanese: 攻撃直前の6月1日、多田行綱の密告により平氏打倒の陰謀が発覚した（鹿ケ谷の陰謀）。
English: According to the account in the "Gukansho," when FUJIWARA no Narichika was summoned and arrested, Yorimori, along with Shigemori, were present.
Japanese: 『愚管抄』によると藤原成親が呼び出されて捕らえられた時、頼盛は重盛とその場に居合わせていた。
English: It came as a great shock to Shigemori that his brother in law, Narichika, was the leader of the plot to topple the Taira clan, and it seems that Yorimori also was subjected to close scrutiny due to the fact that Shunkan, Hossho-ji Temple executive, who was a brother of his wife, Dainagon no tsubone, was a party to the plot.
Japanese: 重盛にとって義兄の成親が平氏打倒の首謀者だったことは衝撃だったが、頼盛も謀議に加わっていた法勝寺執行・俊寛が妻・大納言局の兄弟だったことから、厳しい視線にさらされたものと見られる。
English: It is not clear whether Yorimori himself was involved in the conspiracy; however, he was under suspicion due to his being closely aligned politically with Goshirakawa.
Japanese: 頼盛自身が陰謀に関与していたかは不明だが、その政治的立場は後白河に近く、疑われるだけの条件は整っていた。
English: It is presumed that the reason Shunkan was the only one not to receive a pardon when FUJIWARA no Naritsune and TAIRA no Yasuyori were pardoned was to coerce and contain Yorimori.
Japanese: 藤原成経・平康頼が赦免された時に俊寛だけが許されなかったのは、頼盛に対する威圧・牽制があったのではないかと推測される。
English: From the accounts in the "Sankaiki" (Tadachika NAKAYAMA's diary) and "Gyokuyo" (Diary of FUJIWARA no Kanezane), it can be confirmed that Shigemori, Yorimori, TAIRA no Tokitada and TAIRA no Koremori frequently attended events and ceremonies related to Tokuko's pregnancy and delivery.
Japanese: 『山槐記』『玉葉』を見ると徳子出産に関連する行事には、重盛・頼盛・平時忠・平維盛の4人が多く参仕していたことが確認できる。
English: This is not unusual with respect to Shigemori, who was Tokuko's foster father, Tokitada, who was Chugu Gon no daibu (provisional master of the Consort's Household), and Koremori, who was Chugu Gon no suke (Provisional Assistant Master of the Consort's Household).
Japanese: このうち重盛は徳子の養父であり、時忠・維盛はそれぞれ中宮権大夫・権亮なので不思議ではない。
English: Yorimori, on the other hand, did not have a relation with Tokuko that would call for such attendance, and it is hard to understand why he was so actively involved in matters surrounding Tokuko's pregnancy and delivery.
Japanese: しかし頼盛は徳子とこれといった関係はなく、なぜ徳子の出産に積極的に関わっていたのか理解に苦しむ部分がある。
English: Since doubts surrounding the Shishigatani incident had not yet disappeared, it can be imagined that Yorimori was doing everything possible to eliminate any question regarding his loyalty that might still be harbored by Kiyomori.
Japanese: 鹿ケ谷事件の衝撃も冷めやらない中で、清盛の疑念を払拭するための必死の行動とも考えられる。
English: After Tokuko gave birth to Prince Tokihito (who later became Emperor Antoku), Kiyomori urged Goshirakawa to install prince Tokihiko as Crown Prince.
Japanese: 徳子が無事に皇子（言仁、後の安徳天皇）を出産すると、清盛は後白河に皇子の立太子を迫った。
English: Because members of the Taira clan were assigned to Togubo (Crown Prince's Quarters), and Tokihito had been placed under the control of Taira clan, Goshirakawa became increasingly displeased with Taira clan.
Japanese: 春宮坊には平氏一門が就任し、言仁は平氏の管理下に置かれることになったため、後白河は平氏に対する不満を高めることになる。
English: When Shigemori and Moriko died in 1179, Goshirakawa seized their chigyo koku and private estates.
Japanese: 治承3年（1179年）に重盛・盛子が死去すると、後白河はその知行国・荘園を没収した。
English: Because Moriko in particular had been in possession of substantial estates of Sekkan-ke (the families which produced the Regent and the Chief Adviser to the Emperor), which she had inherited as the widow of Motozane, the former Sessho, the financial damages to Taira clan was tremendous.
Japanese: 特に盛子は前摂政・基実の未亡人として膨大な摂関家領を相続していたので、平氏にとっての経済的打撃は甚大だった。
English: Furthermore, the fact that Moroie MATSUDONO, a son of Motofusa MATSUDONO, Kanpaku (chief adviser to the Emperor), was promoted to the court rank of Gon Chunagon instead of Motomichi, whom Kiyomori had supported, triggered a coup-d'etat by Kiyomori on December 21 (Coup of the Third Year of Jisho).
Japanese: さらに清盛の支援する基通ではなく、関白・松殿基房の子・松殿師家が権中納言になったことが引き金となり、11月14日、清盛はクーデターを起こした（治承三年の政変）。
English: As a result, Motofusa was dismissed as Kanpaku and banished, 39 anti-Taira Kugyo and trusted vassals of Goshirakawa were dismissed and, Goshirakawa himself was confined to Toba-dono Palace, and Goshirakawa-insei (The government by the retired Emepror Goshirakawa) suspended.
Japanese: この結果、基房は関白を罷免されて追放、反平氏公卿・近臣39名が解官、後白河は鳥羽殿に幽閉となり院政は停止された。
English: On December 27, a rumor spread that Kiyomori was planning to attack Yorimori, who was at Rokuhara, and talk that the battle had already begun was rife (see the entry for the same day in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 20日には清盛が六波羅にいる頼盛を討つという噂が広がり、すでに合戦が始まったという情報も飛び交っている（『玉葉』同日条）。
English: On December 29, a rumor that all of Yorimori's shoryo (territory) had been seized circulated (see the entry for the same day in the" Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 22日には頼盛の所領が全て没収されたという情報も流れた（『玉葉』同日条）。
English: Such rumors were mere hearsay, and it became clear that information about a fight between Kiyomori and Yorimori was false.
Japanese: これらは伝聞情報であり、清盛・頼盛の合戦は誤報であったことが判明する。
English: However, there is a possibility that Yorimori protested about the confinement of Goshirakawa, and it seems certain that the potential for Yorimori to take up arms in opposition had been foreseen.
Japanese: ただ、頼盛が後白河の幽閉に抗議する可能性があり、場合によっては武力で対抗するのではないかという観測が流れていたことは確かと思われる。
English: However, Yorimori had no intention of opposing Kiyomori, and took an oath of wholehearted allegiance to Kiyomori declaring, "I have long ago put down my arms." ("Gukansho")
Japanese: しかし頼盛には清盛に逆らう意思はなく、「ナガク弓箭ノミチハステ候ヌル」（『愚管抄』）と全面的な恭順を誓っている。
English: It can also be presumed that because the action that Kiyomori took against Yorimori was limited to the removal of Yorimori from his post in the military officialdom (Uemon no kami), that it was merely a preventive measure on the outside chance that Yorimori attempted to interfere with Kiyomori's plans.
Japanese: 清盛も武官職である右衛門督の解官のみにとどめているので、頼盛の万が一の妨害を懸念しての予防措置であったとも考えられる。
English: Solidarity of the family was sought toward realizing the enthronement of the Prince Tokihito, and Yorimori was also welcomed into the administration, receiving a key position in the government.
Japanese: 言仁親王即位に向けて一門の結束が図られ、頼盛も政権中枢に迎え入れられる。
English: As Yorimori was the only member of the Taira family to have court rank conferred on him on this occasion, it can be presumed that this shows his increasing importance in the government.
Japanese: この時、平氏一門で叙位されたのが頼盛だけだったことも、政権内部において頼盛の存在が重みを増していたことを示すものといえる。
English: Mochihitoo had been adopted by Hachijoin, and had married Sanmi no tsubone, nyobo in the service of Hachijoin who was called the, "matchless favorite retainer" (see the entry for September 19, 1185 in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 以仁王は八条院の猶子となり、八条院女房で「無双之寵臣」（『玉葉』文治元年9月19日条）と呼ばれた三位局を妻としていた。
English: It was apparent that Mochihitoo was receiving some support from Hachijoin; however, Kiyomori had wanted to avoid an all-out conflict with Hachijoin, as this incident happened at the same time that Kiyomori was making efforts to launch the government by Cloistered Emperor Takakura.
Japanese: 以仁王が八条院の支援を受けていることは明白だったが、清盛にすれば高倉院政を何とか軌道に乗せようとしていた矢先の事件であり、ここで八条院と全面衝突になることは避けたかった。
English: However, he could not simply ignore the fact that a child of Mochihitoo was being raised by Hachijoin, so he issued an order to Yorimori to conduct a search.
Japanese: しかし、八条院に養われている以仁王の子をそのまま放置することはできず、頼盛に捜索命令が出された。
English: The reason that Yorimori was chosen might be because his wife was nyobo in the service of Hachijoin, and he was therefore judged to be the best choice to negotiate with Hachijoin.
Japanese: 頼盛が選ばれたのは妻が八条院の女房で、八条院との交渉には最適と判断されたためと思われる。
English: Yorimori must have felt he was being forced to play a role that was difficult to become motivated about; however, he could not disobey the order, so he arrested Mochihitoo's child and forced him to enter the priesthood (Article for May 16 in "Sankaiki" and "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 頼盛にすれば気の進まない役割を押し付けられたようなものだったが、命令には逆らえず以仁王の子の身柄を確保して出家させた（『山槐記』『玉葉』5月16日条）。
English: On June 22, a decision was made to attack Onjo-ji Temple, where Mochihitoo was being harbored, and Yorimori was chosen as one of the generals to command the army that was to carry out the attack. (see the entry for the same day in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 21日、以仁王を匿った園城寺を攻めることが決定され、頼盛は攻撃軍の大将の一人に選ばれている（『玉葉』同日条）。
English: Although Mochihitoo's armed uprising was successfully suppressed, the fact that Onjo-ji Temple and Kofuku-ji Temple had acted in concert with him was a serious threat to the fledgling government by Cloistered Emperor Takakura.
Japanese: 以仁王の挙兵は鎮圧されたが、園城寺・興福寺が同調したことは成立したばかりの高倉院政にとって重大な脅威となった。
English: Yorimori was awarded the court rank of Shonii (Senior Second Rank) in recognition of his providing his residence (see the entry for June 6 in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 頼盛は邸宅を提供した功により正二位に叙せられる（『玉葉』6月6日条）。
English: The plan to relocate the capital did not progress as expected due to a lack of preparation, and rebellions occurred in many place throughout the country.
Japanese: 遷都計画は準備不足のため思うように進まず、全国各地で反乱が頻発していた。
English: In December, a report of a serious defeat of the punitive force in the Battle of Fujigawa reached Fukuhara, and Yorimori and Norimori were reappointed as Togoku-tsuitoshi (a general appointed to liquidate rebels in Togoku) (see the entry for November 16 in the "Sankaiki").
Japanese: 11月には富士川の戦いで追討軍が大敗したという報告が福原に届き、頼盛と教盛が新たに東国追討使となっている（『山槐記』11月16日条）。
