事態が甚だしく深刻であったため、分国のうち出雲国横田庄は仙洞（上皇）の御領地であり、手を触れる者もいないはずであったのに、近年これを横領していたため、数通の御教書を発し、広く御内意をもって返還すべき旨を仰せ下されたにもかかわらず、一向に上意を受け入れなかった。上意に背いているとの風聞が届いたので、家臣たちが談合・詮議して諫言申し上げるには、「御分国はすでに四か国に及んでいます。それなのに、この一か所の件で御違背なさることは、もってのほかです」と、様々に教訓したところ、「それならば返還申し上げましょう。御代官をお下しになってください」と申し上げたので、仙洞の御代官として日野中納言家の斎藤左衛門尉が下向して入部したところ、本給人（もとからの所領管理者）・村主・地下人らに働きかけて、問答無用で追い立てたため、這う這うの体で逃げ上り、ありのままに申し上げた。御所（将軍）は大いに御怒りになられて、「たとえ本人の所領であったとしても、上裁（将軍の裁決）として御下知がある以上は、
【左丁】
異議があるとは思えない。まして仙洞の御領地たる所を、たびたびあるいは怒り、あるいは宥め、厳密な御沙汰に及んでいるにもかかわらず、このような振る舞いをした以上は、重ねて下知を加えたとしても、同じことの繰り返しになるだろう。結局、守護職を御改易する以外に他のことはない」と御評定がすでに決まった。
〇同（明徳二年）十二月十九日の暮れ頃に、丹後国から古山十郎満藤の代官が早馬を立てて、「山名播磨守の寺社領の在国御代官をことごとく追い出し、去る十七日より自国・他国の大勢が馳せ集まって、合戦の準備をして近日中に京都へ攻め上るべき企てが現れました」と申し上げた。そのような折、また河内国の守護代・遊佐河内守のもとから注進申し上げるには、「和泉国に奥州（山名氏清）が近日中に並々ならぬ合戦の用意をもって、ただ今にも出立しそうな様子でございます。しかしながら、白昼に当国（河内国）を経て攻め上られるようならば、

The situation was extremely serious. The Yokota Estate in Izumo Province, within the domain, was the territory of the Sentō (Retired Emperor's palace), and no one should have laid hands upon it. However, in recent years it had been unlawfully seized. Despite several official documents (mikyōsho) being issued and the Retired Emperor's intentions being broadly conveyed with orders to return the estate, these commands were not heeded at all. When word reached them that this conduct was in defiance of the imperial will, the retainers convened in deliberation and remonstrated, saying: "Your domain already encompasses four provinces. For you to defy authority over a single estate such as this is utterly inexcusable." After various admonishments, he replied: "Very well, I shall return it. Please send down an official deputy." Thereupon, Saitō Saemon-no-jō of the Hino Middle Counselor's household was sent down as the Sentō's deputy and took possession of the estate. However, the original recipients of the land, village headmen, and commoners were incited against him, and he was driven out by force without recourse. He fled back to the capital in disarray and reported everything as it had occurred. The Gosho (Shogun) was greatly angered, declaring: "Even if it were the person's own domain, since an official order (gechi) has been issued as a shogunal decree, there should be no grounds for objection."

"I cannot conceive that there would be any dissent. Moreover, this being Sentō territory, despite repeated efforts — at times stern, at times lenient — and strict official proceedings, given that such conduct has occurred, issuing further orders would merely repeat the same result. In the end, there is nothing to be done other than to revoke the position of Military Governor (shugo)." The council of deliberation had already reached this conclusion.
〇Around dusk on the nineteenth day of the twelfth month of the same year (Meitoku 2, 1391), a fast messenger arrived from Tango Province on behalf of Furuyama Jūrō Mitsufuji's deputy, reporting: "The resident deputies overseeing the temple and shrine estates of Yamana Harima-no-kami have been entirely expelled. Since the seventeenth, large forces from both within and outside the province have been gathering, with preparations for battle, and plans to advance upon the capital within the coming days have become apparent." Furthermore, a report arrived from Yūsa Kawachi-no-kami, the deputy military governor of Kawachi Province, stating: "In Izumi Province, Ōshū (Yamana Ujikiyo) is making extraordinary preparations for battle in the very near future and appears ready to depart at any moment. However, should he advance upon the capital through this province (Kawachi) in broad daylight..."
