On March 24, 1184, a Buddhist memorial service for Kiyomori's death, and a Jimoku ceremony (a ceremony at which officials are appointed, the Taira family had right to conduct the Jimoku ceremony because they had Emperor Antoku, and the three sacred treasures of the Imperial family were in their possession) were held in Fukuhara District, with the court rank of Shonii (Senior Second Rank) and the post of Dainagon (Chief councilor) being conferred on Norimori; however, he declined to accept the rank and post.
寿永3年（1184年）2月4日、福原で清盛の法要が営まれ、除目が行われ（平家は安徳天皇と三種の神器を擁しているので除目を行う権利がある）、教盛は正二位大納言に叙されるが、これを辞退した。
