English: In 866, at the time of the fire at the Otenmon Gate, TOMO no Yoshio, Dainagon (chief councilor of state) falsely accused MINAMOTO no Makoto (Kugyo) who held the position of Sadaijin (Minister of the Left), whereupon FUJIWARA no Yoshimi, who held the position of Udaijin (Minister of the Right) ordered Mototsune, who was Sakone no chujo, to arrest MINAMOTO no Makoto; however, Mototsune was suspicious of the charges, and notified his foster father Yoshifusa, whose efforts helped to prove MINAMOTO no Makoto's innocence.
Japanese: 貞観8年（866年）、応天門の炎上の際し大納言伴善男が左大臣源信(公卿)を誣告し、右大臣藤原良相が左近衛中将であった基経に逮捕を命じるも、基経はこれを怪しみ養父の良房に告げ、良房の尽力によって、源信は無実となった。
English: Subsequently, there was an anonymous tip that led to the discover that TOMO no Yoshio was the true culprit, whereupon he was banished, while members of the Otomo and Ki clans, which had also been implicated in the crime, were punished in great numbers, which was big blow for these ancient great clans (Otenmon Incident).
Japanese: その後、密告があり、伴善男が真犯人とされ、流罪となり、連座した大伴氏、紀氏が大量に処罰され、これら上古からの名族へ大打撃を与えた（応天門の変）。
English: Subsequently, he also assumed the post of Sakone no chujo and was promoted to the even higher post of Sakone no daisho (Great General of the Left), while at the same time holding the post of Azechi (Inspector) for Mutsu and Dewa Provinces.
Japanese: その後、左近衛中将を兼ね、更に左近衛大将へ進み、陸奥国出羽国按察使を兼ねる。
English: Mototsune's sister, FUJIWARA no Takaiko was a court lady of Emperor Seiwa and gave birth to the Emperor's first child, who later became Emperor Yozei.
Japanese: 基経の実妹の藤原高子は清和天皇の女御で、第一皇子陽成天皇を生んでいた。
English: As the Emperor was only 9 years old at the time, Mototsune was named Sessho (regent), following the precedent set by Yoshifusa.
Japanese: まだ9歳と幼少であったため、良房の先例に従い基経は摂政に任じられた。
English: In 878, Ezo (northern part of Japan) Fushu prisoners caused a revolt in Dewa Province, andofficials such as FUJIWARA no Yasunori, ONO no Harukaze, who were known for their resourcefulness, were assigned the task of restoring the peace; by the following year they had succeeded in putting down the revolt (Gangyo War).
Japanese: 元慶2年（878年）、出羽国で蝦夷の俘囚が反乱を起こしたため、能吏で知られた藤原保則、小野春風らを起用し、翌年までにこれを鎮撫せしめた（元慶の乱）。
English: In 879, along with SUGAWARA no Koreyoshi and others, he completed work on the ten volume Nihon Montoku Tenno Jitsuroku (the fifth national history, covering years 850-858 (reign of Montoku)).
Japanese: 元慶3年（879年）、菅原是善らと編纂した日本文徳天皇実録全10巻を完成させた。
English: He was named Daijo daikan (Grand minister of state) in 880, (The accounts provided in the "Kugyo bunin" (directory of court nobles) and other sources maintain that his title of Sessho was renewed, and that he became Kanpaku, however, those occurrences are not collaborated by the official history the "Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku" (sixth of the six classical Japanese history texts), and the "Dainihonshi" (Great history of Japan), which was compiled in the Edo period, contains no record of an Imperial proclamation appointing him as Kanpaku at that time).
Japanese: 元慶4年（880年）太政大臣を拝す（同年、摂政を改めて関白となると『公卿補任』などにあるが、正史の『日本三代実録』にはなく、江戸時代に編纂された『大日本史』などでは、この時の関白宣下を採っていない）。
English: In 882, Emperor Yozei reached adulthood and from that time onward their relationship worsened.
Japanese: 元慶6年（882年）、陽成天皇が元服するが、この頃から関係が険悪になった。
English: It is thought that this was not the usual type of ceremonial resignation that is often recounted in the records for this period, but that it was a gesture having a political meaning.
Japanese: これはこの時代の記録によく見られる儀礼的な辞退ではなく、政治的な意味があったと考えられている。
English: In Devember 883, an incident occurred in which the child of the wet nurse KI no Matako (KI no Zenshi), MINAMOTO no Masaru, was killed on the premises of the Imperial Court.
Japanese: 元慶7年（883年）11月、宮中で乳母紀全子の子・源益が殺される事件が起きた。
English: It is unknown, whether this was actually a murder or an accidental death, and the murderer was also said to be unknown, but at Court there were rumors that the Emperor Yozei had beaten him to death.
Japanese: それが本当に殺人事件なのか、あるいは過失致死といった類の事故なのかは明らかではなく、また犯人も不明とされたが、宮中では陽成天皇が殴り殺したのだと噂された。
English: Immediately after the occurrence of that incident, the fact that the Emperor Yozei, who was very fond of horses, had built a stable in his own palace (Kinchu), and was having low-ranking folk tend to the horses he kept there came to light.
Japanese: この事件の直後、馬好きの陽成天皇が厩を禁中につくり、卑位の者に世話をさせ、飼っていた事実が明らかになる。
English: Emperor Yozei is described as a tyrant in later records, which recount that he was said to have enjoyed catching frogs and snakes, having dogs and monkeys fight with each other, and ordering people to climb trees so he could watch them fall to their deaths.
Japanese: 陽成天皇は後の記録には暴君として描かれており、それによると天皇は蛙を捕え、蛇を捕え、または犬と猿を闘わせて喜び、人を木に登らせて墜落死させたという。
English: In 884, Mototsune was trying to find a way to remove the Emperor, so he approached Prince Tsunesada, who had been made Haitaishi (defunct Prince) at the time of Emperor Nimmyo presumably to sound him out as to whether he would be interested in acceding to the throne, but the Prince had already taken the tonsure to become a monk, and refused.
Japanese: 元慶8年（884年）、基経は天皇の廃立を考え、仁明天皇のときに廃太子された恒貞親王に打診したが、既に出家していた親王から拒否された。
English: At this juncture, Mototsune decided to have the third son of the Emperor Nimmyo, who was of a modest and generous character, installed on the throne as Emperor Koko.
Japanese: そこで仁明天皇の第三皇子の光孝天皇が謙虚寛大な性格であったので、これを新帝と決めた。
English: Prince Tokiyasu's mother was FUJIWARA no Takushi, a daughter of FUJIWARA no Futatsugu, and she was also a sister of Mototsune's mother, Otoharu, making Mototsune a cousin of the Prince Tokiyasu.
Japanese: 時康親王の母は藤原総継の娘・藤原沢子で、基経の母・乙春とは姉妹であり、基経は時康親王の従兄弟にあたる。
English: When he assembled the court nobles to discuss deposing the emperor and replacing him with Prince Tokiyasu, the Minister of the Left, MINAMOTO no Toru (the twelfth son of Emperor Saga) asserted that he himself also had the pedigree, and was therefore qualified to become emperor.
Japanese: 公卿を集めて天皇の廃位と時康親王の推戴を議したところ、左大臣源融（嵯峨天皇の第12皇子）は自分もその資格があるはずだと言いだした。
English: Mototsune rejected this claim, maintaining that there was no precedent for a descendant of an emperor who had been given a family name (e.g., Taira, Minamoto) to become emperor, and then FUJIWARA no Morofuji, a sangi councilor, threatened to have anyone who did not follow Mototsune's plan killed, and the deliberations were thereby brought to an end.
Japanese: 基経は姓を賜った者が帝位についた例はないと退け、次いで参議藤原諸葛が基経に従わぬ者は斬ると恫喝に及び、廷議は決した。
English: To repay Mototsune for installing him on the throne, Emperor Koko issued an imperial decree delegating all power to the Daijo daijin Mototsune.
Japanese: 光孝天皇は擁立に報いるために太政大臣である基経に大政を委任する詔まで発した。
English: The Emperor was already 55 years old, and he intentionally did not name an heir, so as to leave the decision to Mototsune.
Japanese: 天皇は既に55歳だったが、皇嗣の決定も基経に委ねるつもりで、あえて定めなかった。
English: In 887, Emperor Koko was on his deathbed, and Mototsune proposed to make the Emperor's seventh son, Prince Sadami (who subsequently became Emperor Uda) heir to the throne.
Japanese: 仁和3年（887年）、光孝天皇が重篤に陥ると、基経は第7皇子の宇多天皇を皇嗣に推挙した。
English: As there had existed no precedent for someone who had been given a family name (a practice which had the effect of stripping a son of an emperor of his title as Prince, and removing him from the line of candidates eligible to inherit the throne) to become Emperor, Emperor Koko reinstated Sadami as Prince from his deathbed, and passed away on that same day.
Japanese: 臣籍降下した者が即位した先例がないため、臨終の天皇は定省を親王に復し、東宮となした日に崩じた。
English: Emperor Uda followed the example of the preceding emperor and delegated all power to Mototsune, requesting that TACHIBANA no Hiromi, the Sadaiben (major controller of the left), write a draft and issue an Imperial Rescript declaring, "The decisions on all political matters shall be entrusted (kanpakusuru) to the Daijo daijin (Grand minister of state), and so be it."
Japanese: 宇多天皇は先帝の例に倣い大政を基経に委ねることとし、左大弁橘広相に起草させ「万機はすべて太政大臣に関白し、しかるのにち奏下すべし」との詔をする。
English: Mototsune initially put forth a polite expression of his desire to decline the appointment and resign; however, the emperor again asked Hiromi again to draft an Imperial Rescript declaring, "Mototsune should be appointed as Ako, and assume the post of a state minister."
Japanese: 基経は儀礼的にいったん辞意を乞うが、天皇は重ねて広相に起草させ「宜しく阿衡の任を以て、卿の任となすべし」との詔をした。
English: Ako is a term derived from classical Chinese texts, and because FUJIWARA no Sukeyo, Monjo hakase (professor of literature), had described the scenario to Mototsune as one in which, "he would receive the high position of Ako, but it would be merely ceremonious, and would have no official duties"; therefore, Mototsune was able to abandoned all his political duties.
Japanese: 阿衡とは中国の故事によるものだが、これを文章博士藤原佐世が「阿衡には位貴しも、職掌なし」と基経に告げたため、基経はならばと政務を放棄してしまった。
English: Because this issue became protracted and had not been resolved after more than half a year, it became troublesome for Emperor Uda, who made an attempt to convey his true intentions on the matter to Mototsune in an effort to try to appease him, but Mototsune would not accept.
Japanese: 問題が長期化して半年にもおよび政務が渋滞してしまい宇多天皇は困りはて、真意を伝えて慰撫するが、基経は納得しない。
English: Hiromi had some scholars examine what the official duties of the Ako were, and protested that Mototsune was reproaching him without grounds; however, the scholars all sided with Mototsune.
Japanese: 阿衡の職掌について学者に検討させ、広相は言いがかりであることを抗弁するが、学者たちは基経の意を迎えるばかりだった。
English: In the end, Mototsune had Hiromi dismissed, and the whole issue was resolved when the Emperor himself issued an Imperial Rescript admitting his mistake (the Ako incident).
Japanese: 結局、広相を罷免し、天皇が自らの誤りを認める詔を発布することで決着がついた（阿衡事件）。
English: This event served as a clear reminder to the public that the Fujiwara clan was in actuality more powerful than the Emperor.
Japanese: これにより藤原氏の権力が天皇よりも強いことをあらためて世に知らしめることになった。
English: Mototsune was still demanding that Hiromi be banished; however, calm was restored when SUGAWARA no Michizane sent a letter to Mototsune, admonishing him.
Japanese: 基経はなおも広相を流罪とすることを求めるが、菅原道真が書を送って諫言しておさめた。
English: This incident was very humiliating for Emperor Uda, who therefore promoted SUGAWARA no Michizane to an important position as a trusted and close advisor after Mototsune's death.
Japanese: この事件は天皇にとって屈辱だったようで、基経の死後に菅原道真を重用するようになる。
English: January 852: He was appointed as Kurodo (Chamberlain) (and seemed to became the foster son of Yoshifusa around this time).
Japanese: 仁寿2年（852年）1月、蔵人に補任（この頃に良房の養子になったとみられる）

Japanese: 元慶5年（881年）1月15日、従一位に昇叙し、関白・太政大臣如元。
English: The northern branch of the Fujiwara clan (Fujiwara Hokke), of which Mototsune was an important progenitor (Nakaso), and the Murakami-Genji (Minamoto clan), which had a close relationship with the Fujiwara Hokke continued to hold sway over the Imperial Court, and before modern times, those putting forward the argument that Mototsune was similar to Huo Guang of the Former Han Dynasty, in that he was a "model vassal" who had toppled the tyrannical Emperor Yozei, were mainly scholars of Confucianism.
Japanese: 基経を中祖とする藤原北家および藤原北家と近しい関係にある村上源氏が朝廷の主流を占めつづけたこともあり、近代以前には暴君・陽成天皇を廃した「功臣」として前漢の霍光に擬える説が儒学者を中心に唱えられた。
English: Chikafusa KITABATAKE (a member of the Murakami-Genji clan) praised the toppling of Emperor Yozei in the Jinno shotoki, writing that due to the "by virtue of his good deeds" Mototsune's descendents were able to monopolize the positions of Sessho and Kanpaku.
Japanese: 北畠親房（村上源氏）は神皇正統記において廃位を称賛し、その「積善の余慶」によって基経の子孫が摂政関白を独占したと記述している。
English: Katsushige ITAKURA was a daimyo (Japanese feudal lord) from the Azuchi-Momoyama period to the Edo period, and served as Kyoto Shoshidai (deputy of Kyoto).
Japanese: 板倉勝重（いたくらかつしげ）は、安土桃山時代から江戸時代の大名、京都所司代である。
English: However, his father, Yoshishige, was killed in the battle of Zemmyo tsutsumi in 1561, and his brother, Sadashige ITAKURA, who had succeeded their father as head of the family, was also subsequently killed in 1581 in the fighting at the battle of Takatenjin-jo Castle in Totomi Province, where the army of the Takeda clan had hidden themselves, which resulted in Katsushige becoming the next head of the family, under orders from Ieyasu TOKUGAWA.
Japanese: ところが1561年（永禄4年）に父の好重が善明提の戦いで戦死、さらに家督を継いだ弟の板倉定重も1581年（天正9年）に武田氏軍の籠る遠江国・高天神城攻め（高天神城の戦い）で戦死したために徳川家康の命で家督を相続した。

Japanese: 室町幕府では将軍尊氏とともに二元政治を行っていた直義と、各地で軍事的功績のあった執事の高師直らとの対立が生じ、やがて内紛に発展して観応の擾乱に至る。

English: Tadafuyu was attacked by Moronao's troops at Tomonotsu (Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture) in October, and fled to the Kyushu region.

Japanese: 九州には、征西将軍宮懐良親王を擁する南朝方の菊池氏や、足利方の九州探題で博多を本拠とした一色範氏（道猷）、大宰府の少弐頼尚らの勢力が鼎立していたところ、直冬は、将軍尊氏より直冬の討伐命令を受けた一色氏らと戦い、懐良親王の征西府と協調路線を取り大宰府攻略を目指す。
English: At first Yorinao SHONI was fighting against Tadafuyu, cooperating with the Isshiki clan, but once Tadafuyu made gains and grew in strength, he welcomed Tadafuyu into his camp out of a sense of rivalry against the Isshiki clan, in October 1350, during the Shohei and Kano era (one account maintains that he made Tadafuyu his son-in-law).
Japanese: 少弐頼尚は当初、一色氏と協調して直冬と戦っていたが、直冬の勢力が拡大すると一色氏への対抗心から正平5年/観応元年（1350年）9月に直冬を自陣営に迎える（一説によれば婿にしたと言われる）。
English: Reacting to the alliance between Tadafuyu and the Shoni clan, Takauji, who was on the side of the bakufu, had decided to march on Tadafuyu in Kyushu, himself at the head of the troops; however, in the midst of the preparations, Tadayoshi absconded from the capital (Kyoto), gathered supporters and joined forces with the Southern Court to raise an army, whereupon Takauji cancelled the planned attack.
Japanese: 直冬と少弐氏との同調を受けて、幕府では尊氏自ら直冬のいる九州に出兵しようとするが、その最中に直義が京を脱出し、支持勢力を集めて南朝に帰順して挙兵したために中止される。

Japanese: しかし、尊氏と直義の間で再び不和が生じ、同年に尊氏が南朝と一時的に講和する正平一統が成立し、尊氏は南朝の後村上天皇から直義討伐令を得る。

Japanese: 直冬は時期不明だが南朝に帰服し、旧直義派や、反尊氏勢力で南朝にも接近していた桃井直常、山名時氏、大内弘世らに後援され、正平9年/文和3年（1354年）にこれら反尊氏派の軍勢を率いて上洛し、翌正平10年/文和4年（1355年）に南朝と協力して京都から尊氏を追い、一時的に奪還する。
English: Although Takauji died in 1358, the power of the Southern Court also declined as it had repeatedly been under attack from the bakufu, and with OUCHI and YAMANA also surrendering to the bakufu, the Tadafuyu faction collapsed.
