الحلقة 7: وفاة كيوموري بعد الاضطرابات السياسية وحريق معبد كوفوكوجي

Under political pressure, Kiyomori moves the capital back to Kyoto, but he is suspected of planning an attack on his enemies. Meanwhile, Emperor Takakura, formerly Prince Norihito, is ill, with Tokuko faithfully staying by his side. Rumors spread of an uprising among the monks of Kofukuji, who fear an attack by the Heike, so Kiyomori sends 60 unarmed men to Kofukuji to assure them they have no intention of fighting, but the monks kill the envoys and place their heads on spikes to avenge the destruction of Onoji Temple. Outraged, Kiyomori sends Shingehara to Kofukuji, where he launches an assault with arrows before nightfall. Fearing a counterattack, Shingehara light fires which spread first to Kofukuji Temple and then to Todaiji, further damaging the reputation of the Heike. Meanwhile, Kiyomori wants Tokuko and Takakura's son Antoku to take control of the palace on his behalf, but Tokuko refuses, threatening to become a nun instead. The issue is dropped, and soon Kiyomori succumbs to an unnatural fever and dies, leaving the Taira clan leaderless and surrounded by enemies. Sukemori send Biwa away for her own good. Back at the palace, Tokuko makes peace with the ageing Go-Shirakawa and promises to look after his grandson Antoku. (Source: Wikipedia)
