Ping's

Huanwuping family

The Ping family is one of the most powerful families in Japanese history. The Ping family originated in 825. At that time, due to financial difficulties, some of the royal families were given surnames (the royal family had no surnames) and transferred to other places. The surname Ping was given to Prince Gaodong, the son of Prince Geyuan, the grandson of the 50th emperor Huanwu. Therefore, the descendants of Prince Gaodong are called huanwuping.

Ping's rise

At the end of the Heian era, the nobles were full of power conflicts and contradictions, and finally resorted to force to solve them. In the rebellion of Baoyuan in 1156 and the rebellion of Pingzhi in 1159, yishiping contributed a lot to the victorious side, especially in the rebellion of Pingzhi, which almost wiped out the political enemy Genji. Yuanyichao, one of the leaders of the Genji family, was killed on the way to escape. His three sons, yuanlaichao, were exiled to Izu, and the other surviving sons were forced to become monks in Buddhist temples. Ping's status was established. Ping Qingsheng, the leader of the Ping family, was promoted to minister of Taizheng in 1167. All the important official positions in the court were in the hands of Ping family, and many vassal states outside the court also fell into the hands of Ping family. In addition, the daughter of Ping Qingsheng, Dezi, married emperor Takakura and gave birth to Prince Yanren (later emperor ande). At this time, Ping's family was in power.

Pingjiangmen

Taira masakado (? - 940.3.23) established a political power in the southern part of Kanto in 939, competing with the emperor in Kyoto, and appointed the National Secretary of eight countries in northern Japan. In the struggle to seize power, pingjiangmen wiped out many close relatives, including several uncles. But in the "Tianqing rebellion" in 940, pingjiangmen was killed and the "new emperor" regime ended. In 1028, Ping Zhongchang, the leader of the Ping family, attempted to reestablish the rule of the Ping family over Kanto. The Kyoto court sent yuan Laixin to suppress it. In 1031, Ping Zhongchang surrendered. From then on, the Ping family gradually declined, and the Genji family, who had made contributions to the imperial court in the fight to suppress the Ping family, began to rise. However, after weakening the opposition power of the Ping family, the emperor did not regain the independent power as expected. The baton of power is in the hands of the Genji family. So in the second half of the 11th century, Emperor Baihe abdicated, his son ascended the throne, and began to implement the so-called "court administration". In order to maintain absolute monarchical power, Pingzheng Sheng, a descendant of emperor Zhaoping of Baihe, entered the palace and ordered him to suppress the Genji family.

Pingzhengsheng

Taira Masamori was the military general who promoted him to power in Japan. He used to be the leader of the local aristocracy, and he had strong strength in Yishi area. In 1108, the imperial court hired him to cut off a troublemaker from Genji, who occupied the coastal area of the inland sea of rikho in western Japan. Genji's warriors were not used to fighting at sea and along the coast, and they won a total victory. After that, pingzhengsheng received a lot of rewards from the emperor, and his official position was promoted again and again. At the same time, the Emperor allowed his family to settle in western Japan, where trade with China was profitable. From then on, the power of the Ping family gradually increased. By 1159, the Ping family had dominated the whole of Japan.

Pingzhongsheng

Taira Tadamori (1096-1153.12.2), the son of pingzhengsheng. He inherited his father's career. His military and diplomatic ability made Ping the most powerful family in Japan and laid the foundation for his son Ping Qingsheng to actually control the power of the whole country. After his father's death, he helped the imperial court conquer the pirates who disturbed the navigation in western Japan. At the same time, during the expedition, many people belonged to the Ping family. The emperor was also very fond of him, so he gave him many new titles and rewards.

Pingqingsheng

Taira Kiyomori (1118-1181.3.21) continued to expand the power of the Ping family, which caused an inevitable conflict between the Ping family and the Genji family. Hirayama is the first military dictator in Japanese history. In 1156, there was a power conflict between emperor Chongde and Emperor houbaihe. With the support of the Genji family headed by Yuan Weiyi, the emperor of Chongde launched a palace coup, which led to the "Baoyuan rebellion". However, the chaos ended in the victory of emperor houbaihe supported by Ping Qingsheng. At the same time, the "defection" of Yuanyi Dynasty, the son of Yuanwei, also played an important role in the victory of emperor Heping Qingsheng of houbaihe. However, Yuanyi Dynasty after the victory was not satisfied with the treatment and reward given by Emperor Baihe. In the winter of 1159, Yuanyi Dynasty launched a coup when it was not in the capital, which led to the "peace and order rebellion". Pingqingsheng assembled all his forces and took a series of bold and ingenious military actions to annihilate the enemy and return to Korea. Since then, Ping Qingsheng has become the most powerful person in Japan. In 1167, he obtained the highest position in the court and became Minister of the Supreme Court. Then, he married his wife's sister to Emperor houbaihe and formed a nepotism with the emperor's family. Since then, the Ping family monopolized all the senior positions in the imperial court and controlled half of the whole country. After 1179, the emperor of Baihe led the nobles to oppose the arrogance. However, at this time, the strength of peace and prosperity could not be defeated and weakened by the emperor and a few nobles. Sure enough, he was peaceful and prosperous, and then he took control of the government and became a dictator worthy of the name. In 1180, Sheng Yongli, a two-year-old grandson, ascended the throne and moved his capital to Fuyuan (now Kobe). In the same year, a close official of Yuanyi Dynasty rebelled. Yuanlai Dynasty, the son of Yuanyi Dynasty, took the opportunity to raise troops with the support of warriors from all over the country. On March 21, 1181, dictator Ping Qingsheng died of illness, and a movement against the totalitarian rule of the Ping family broke out in Japan. Yuanlai led troops to attack Kyoto. As soon as the Genji army approached, the Ping family took the young emperor ande away in a panic. In 1185, in the last battle of Yuanping battle (tanfupu), the Ping family was completely annihilated in the tanpu naval battle at the east end of Xiaguan Strait. Emperor Ender also drowned. Since then, the Genji family has established the rule over the whole of Japan.

Pingchongsheng

Pingchongsheng (1138 (Baoyan 4 years) - September 2, 1179 (Zhicheng 3 years leap July 29)), a military general and Gongqing at the end of the Heian era. Ping Qingsheng's eldest son, his mother is Gao jiezhang's daughter, his mother and brother are Ping Jisheng, and his son is Ping Weisheng. The final official position was from two interior ministers. Because he lives in Komatsu Di, he is also known as Komatsu Gong and Komatsu Nei minister. In addition, because he built 48 lanterns in his residence, he was also known as "Lantern minister". In the story of Pingjia, he is described as a gentle, calm and idealistic character. He is a man of both literature and martial arts, and is highly expected by Qingsheng and a school. During the period of Baoyuan and pacifying the rebellion, he made contributions with his father. Since then, he has been promoted to the posts of general Wei and the two inner ministers. Although he is pingqingsheng's eldest son, his mother's status is not as high as Qingsheng's stepbrother two nuns (usually). Therefore, unlike his half brother pingzongsheng, Chongsheng has no powerful relatives to protect him. Chongsheng's main room was Jingzi, the sister of fujihara, the favorite Minister of the emperor, who was close to the emperor. Ping Chongsheng often played the role of mediator when his father Ping Qingsheng had conflicts with the later Baihe emperor. In 1177, when the Lugu plot happened, Ping Chongsheng advised his father Qingsheng not to put him under house arrest. But Qingsheng didn't listen to him. Moreover, the mastermind of the Lugu plot was Chongsheng's brother-in-law fujihara's marriage. After this incident, Chongsheng was isolated in the Pingjia family. He became a monk on May 25, 1179, and died on July 29 of the same year. Xian Qingsheng died at the age of 42. The cause of his death was "disease of not eating", which should be a hunger strike. Two years after his death, Qingsheng died of illness. Four years later, the Ping family was defeated in the battle of tanzhipu.

Ping Zongsheng

Tairano Munemori (1147-1185, July 19), the third son of Ping Qingsheng, was a general in the late Heian period of Japan and the last leader of the Ping family. After Qingsheng and Chongsheng died, they attacked the Minister of internal affairs, and were soon driven out of Kyoto by yuanyizhong because of the defeat in the battle of quhun Karo. Later, they were captured and beheaded by Yuanlai's army in the battle of tanpu. The highest official position is from a minister in the industry, because the Ping family led by him later retreated to the house Island, which is generally called "house Island minister". After taking over the family, Ping Zongsheng was promoted to minister of Quan Da Na Yan and internal affairs in the first year of Shou Yong (1181). But the next year, the troops of Yuan Yizhong (muzeng Yizhong) entered Vietnam and defeated the Pingjia army. Forcing Ping Zongsheng to leave Kyoto with emperor ander and flee to West Japan. After that, the Pingjia army was defeated in yizhigu of Shejin state by the Genji army under the command of yuanyijing, the younger brother of Yuanlai Dynasty, and retreated to Wudao of Zanqi state. At this time, the Baihe FA emperor offered to take Ping chongheng (the fifth younger brother of Ping Zongsheng), who was captured by the Genji army, as a hostage in exchange for the three artifacts held by the Ping family and Emperor ande, but Ping Zongsheng refused. Later, the Pingjia army was defeated by Yuan Yijing in Wudao, and then in 1185, it was defeated by Yuan Yijing's army in tanzhipu, the final decisive battle of yuanpinghe war. Ping Zongsheng, the leader of the Ping family, had to commit suicide by jumping into the sea at the end of his life. However, he was rescued together with his eldest son Ping qingzong (another story is that Ping Zongsheng himself surrendered to the Genji Army), and then sent to Kamakura, where Yuanlai Dynasty was located.
