第 3 集: Shigemori 在 Shishigatani 應對家庭緊張關係與 Enryakuji 寺廟衝突

Shigemori sails with Biwa and others of his family to the Itsukushima shrine where Kiyomori has made his seat of power. On their return, Biwa meets Tokuko who is yet to have a child, but Tokuko is unconcerned about it or the fact that Norihito appears to have taken a lover, Lady Kogo. Meanwhile Shigemori must deal with a matter involving the Enryakuji. Lord Morotsune of the Fujiwara who governs Kaga province with his brother Lord Morotaka, demanded to use the bath at a temple affiliated with the Enryakuji. When they were refused, they burned the temple, and the Enryakuji head priest Meiun demands retribution. Their father Lord Saiko who serves Emperor Go-Shirakawa seeks leniency on their behalf, but thousands of Enryakuji warrior monks march on the palace and the emperor orders it to be forcefully defended. Many Enryakuji are slain and wounded, and their portable shrines desecrated. In retribution the Enryakuji set fire to the court's estates, including that of Shigemori. In administrator Shunkan's villa at Shishigatani, Lord Saiko suggests to the emperor that the Heike are becoming too powerful. He proposes and alliance with the Genji and other nobles and clans with grievances against the Heike. However, when Kiyomori learns of the plot, he seizes Shukan and Saiko and prepares to march against the emperor. Shigemori pleads for Kiyomori to stop as they owe their prosperity to the emperor and he is faced with the dilemma of loyalty to the emperor and filial piety to his father. (Source: Wikipedia)
