conspiracy

Well，that year had  many events following the discovery of gold.　

In 749 AD，Government post was established named ”Shibi-tyu-dai” for Empress of abdicated Shomu.
Its post had purpose to assist Empress of abdicated Shomu ostensibly.
In fact had purpose to assist unstable position of current female Emperor.　
Nakamaro was sworn to that Secretary.　
　
He was appointed commander of the Emperor Guards at the same time.　
（This position was deep relationship with Fujiwara clan originally.）　
Nakamaro became the top of Fujiwara clan.　

・・・・・・・・・　
　
"Tachibana-no-moroe has be planning a revolt."
 　
In 755 AD, there was such snitches.
However Shomu did not adopt a snitches.
(He still had a real power after abdicated.)
Just maybe he thought the balance of power in Dynasty.

But tachibana-no-moroe did resignation eventually.
Snitches aimed at the downfall of his that was successful.

Next 756 AD，Shoumu and Tachibana-no-moroe died one after another.
Dynastic situation had been further deepened the confusion.

・・・・・・・・・　
　
Representative of the anti- Fujiwara forces was Otomo clan along with Tachibana clan.　
”He slandered the Emperor.”
　
Shortly after this death，Otomo clan's stalwarts were arrested on suspicion that.
Probably insufficient  the alleged，he was immediately released.
（It would conspiracy originally.）
　
　
But he was relegated to the provinces，then  became the banishment.
This opportunity，radicals in Otomo clan had cleave to conspiracy of anti- Nakamaro.
