Reborn in Heian-kyo: The Path to Regent

It is still difficult for the Sugawara family to become a setoseki. In the final analysis, the reason why the Fujiwara Kita family can become a setoseki is because they are really relatives of the emperor. Once Fujiwara Michinaga dies, it will be even harder to maintain it if Fujiwara no Yorimichi cannot give birth to a daughter after he comes to power.

I originally wanted to see if there were any books about the late Kamakura period and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then I saw this one. By the way, the Heian period is too niche in online articles.

​ ​ Speaking of which, I still want to see how the author made Sugawara a cameraman. I don't know much about the history of Japan's Heian period, so I casually looked it up and found that only the Fujiwara clan and the Genji clan could advance to the third rank or above, and the chief officials of each province were occupied by relatives of the emperor. The Taira rebellion occurred in 1028, which was 38 years later. Minamoto no Yorinobu led his troops to quell the rebellion and won the fourth rank. At that time, Sugawara was already 57 years old. It seems that only his ancestors were the ones who were promoted to the third rank or above based on canons and articles. His father Wen Shi only achieved the third rank before his death. If Sugawara can win the favor of the harem, the emperor and the Fujiwara family through his articles, and quickly rise to the rank of Shikibu Daisuke, Shaoben or the head of the university (lower or higher from the fifth position), then in 995 he and Senzi will become the chief of the line, and they will become the chief of the university. If you stand out in the Virtue Revolution, you may be promoted to the position of chief official in a province not controlled by the prince (such as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs). However, I don't know whether the provincial chief officials can be delegated to local places, and the promotion from sixth grade to fourth grade in a few years may be too fast. If not, you can change your position to a lower rank or from a fifth rank after the Changde Incident. Not only can you get more fertile land, but you can also take advantage of the trade with the Song Dynasty to make a lot of money and bribe the central government to advance further. Even if the above two paths are taken, Sugawara's position will be at most three ranks when he is around forty years old (that is, twenty-one years later)? Moreover, Sugawara's power in the palace and among the ministers is too weak. If Sugawara marries more wives and has more children, marries more children to the palace, the Fujiwara family and the Minamoto family, or marries children from tributary families of the ministers, after all, the children of the Sugawara family must be very handsome and beautiful, then might Sugawara go one step further? I don't know if the author would handle it this way. It's okay to wait until the conflict breaks out between the emperor and the Fujiwara family, but that won't be until Emperor Sanjo in 1068. Sugawara probably won't survive until then, unless he follows Sima Yi's example. However, I estimate that Sugawara will definitely be able to catch up with the Taira rebellion in 1028. Minamoto no Yorinobu is also his good brother and can show off their skills together. The above are my thoughts. Regarding how Sugawara became a photographer, I hope to see the author's fantastic ideas and wonderful writing. As a reader, you just need to appreciate the author's masterpiece. Anyway, come on! I hope this book sells well.

The author, nb, rarely writes about the Heian period, and the one next door only writes about the late Kamakura period.

Didn't Tai Ping Ji be replayed recently? You can completely rely on this popularity to write a story about the Southern Dynasties regaining power.

It feels like there are very few stories about the Emperor regaining power. Could the author write about this next? Emperor Go-Daigo and Emperor Go-Toba are both okay

The author can try to write Hou Daigo later. You can refer to Penglai Sanren's Taiping Ji and read it alone.

It can be seen that the author is still careful in researching

What level is Japan's productivity at this time? When I played Shogunate Total War: Rise of the Samurai, I felt that this era was so primitive.

It turns out it's the road to photography. I thought it was the road to photography.
