Ten years after the Later Three Years' War, in 1098, he passed the Zuryo-kokka-sadame with the support of Emperor Shirakawa ("Chuyu-ki," dated January 23) and promoted to Shoshiinoge (Senior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade) in a Kojimoku (extraordinary inauguration ceremony done outside of the biannual jimoku) in April, and was granted permission to visit the imperial residence in October.
後三年の役から10年後の1098年（承徳2）に「今日左府候官奏給云々、是前陸奥守義家朝臣依済舊國公事、除目以前被忩（そう）行也（件事依有院御気色也）、左大史廣親候奏」（『中右記』正月23日条）と白河天皇の意向もあり、やっと受領功過定を通って、4月の小除目で正四位下に昇進し、10月には院昇殿を許された。
