Between December in 1180 and January in 1181 (December, 1180 in old lunar calendar), various countermeasures were taken against rebellion, such as delivery of military force by nobles (Article for January 7 in "Gyokuyo") and collection of provisions from various Provinces (Article for January 4 in "Sankaiki"), and Tokitada was deeply involved in the planning and execution of such policies.
12月には反乱対策として、公卿層に対する武力の供出（『玉葉』12月13日条）・諸国からの兵糧米徴収（『山槐記』12月10日条）が相次いで実施されるが、時忠はこれらの政策の立案・実行に深く関与していた。
