Doyo KYOGOKU, who was zoei bugyo (administrator) of the construction of Gojo-ohashi Bridge and collected munebetsu-sen Tax from households in Kyoto in order to finance construction cost, also lost his face because Takatsune completed the bridge in a few days at his expense saying Doyo's construction work was too slow.
また五条大橋の造営奉行となった京極道誉が、造営費捻出のため京都の家々から棟別銭を徴収していたが、高経は造営が遅いとして自らの出費で数日の内に架橋してしまったため、道誉は面目を潰された格好となった。
