Examples of that kind of Dazai no sochi are, TAIRA no Korenaka who was appointed in 1001 as an imperial person refused to be a successor to FUJIWARA no Korechika who had been demoted (exiled in fact) to Gonnosochi, and FUJIWARA no Takasue who was appointed in 1179 as a supervisor of Gonnosochi FUJIWARA no Motofusa who was demoted to Gonnosochi (but as Motofusa was exiled to Bizen province in fact, Takasue's appointment of Dazai no sochi was canceled).
長保3年（1001年）の平惟仲、治承3年（1179年）の藤原隆季がその例であるが、前者は左遷（実質流罪）による権帥（藤原伊周）の後任権帥になるのを嫌ったため、後者は左遷による権帥（藤原基房）の監視のためのもの（ただし、実際には備前国配流となったため帥の赴任も中止された）であった。
