Why did Yoritomo Minamoto and Yoshitsune Minamoto have to fight?
Yoshitsune drove Heike clan by a fight of Dannoura and gave big military gains.
However, why did Yoshitsune have to be subdued afterwards?
I want to explain it from the then situation.
It is thought that the reason why Yoshitsune made Yoritomo angry is two mainly.
1: Self-centered behavior by the fight of Dannoura
Yoshitsune pushed forward a fight at the time of fight of Dannoura without hearing an opinion of Kagetoki Kajiwara who was a schemer.
He drove a result, the Emperor Antoku into the suicide.
And Yoshitsune have lost three kinds of sacred treasures which could become the negotiations materials with the Imperial Court.
Furthermore, Yoshitsune punished samurais of subordinates without permission without getting permission of Yoritomo.
It is in this way written in Azumakagami that He incurred Samurai's and others other bad feeling.
Because Yoritomo was going to make the samurai family society which assumes oneself a top, it is disagreeable and comes to feel Yoshitsune behaving in a selfish way in this way.
It is the second next reason to have accelerated this.
2: Yoshitsune is that office and rank was granted by Emperor Goshirakawa after a fight of Dannoura
Yoritomo prohibited the samurai who received office and rank without one's permission from the Imperial Court from coming back to Kanto.
Because he did not yet perform opening the Edo shogunate of the Kamakura Shogunate in those days, Yoritomo was not able to give a subordinate office and rank.
In other words, it was an act to be able to shake a position of Yoritomo oneself to be given office and rank without permission of Yoritomo from the Imperial Court.
Yoritomo does not give office and rank, but the samurai who think that then the which the Imperial Court had is profit that the Imperial Court gives office and rank may come out.
For this reason, Yoritomo was prohibited to receive their permit without rank.
However, Yoshitsune breaks this and receives office and rank.
Emperor Goshirakawa is said to have given Yoshitsune an important post as the equal for fear of Yoritomo.
Yoritomo took distance out of the Imperial Court and was going to make the political circle by the samurai family.
Yoshitsune enhanced trust of the Imperial Court, and it was the menace that was serious for Yoritomo to become the popular person of samurais of the circumference.
Yoshitsune was good at war, but it is said that it was ignorant about politics.
