While Kiyomori moves to Fukuhara, entrusting Kyoto to his heir Shigemori, the retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa enters the Buddhist priesthood. In 1169, the Imperial Court falls into chaos by Go-Shirakawa's incoherent order on the treatment of Narichika (Go-Shirakawa's aide and Shigemori's brother-in-law). Learning that Shigemori is unable to quell the disturbance, Kiyomori leads his troops into Kyoto and calms the turmoil. By Kiyomori's decisive action, Go-Shirakawa and the aristocrats are compelled to admit that samurai's military power is indispensable for resolving all the problems.
