In spite of his promotion in court rank, he was repeatedly appointed to similar government posts thereafter until he was appointed to Udaiben (Major Controller of the Right) in 1012; namely to Uchuben (Middle Controller of the Right), to Gon Sachuben (provisional Middle Controller of the Left) and once again to Uchuben.
その後も、寛弘9年（1012年）に右大弁になるまで、位階の昇叙はあったものの、右中弁、権左中弁、再び右中弁といったように、官職としては変わり映えのしない状況に置かれている。
