Also, on September 23, around the time of his move, those who seemed to be close friends of Yoshihisa, such as Yasutoshi SHODA, a Ometsuke, (the man who said that Naganori ASANO was a criminal and made him commit hara-kiri in the garden), and Fuyushige TOJO (Yoshihisa's younger blood brother), shoinhanshi (the shogun's bodyguard or the castle guard), were relieved of their posts because 'they were not doing well' and they were made kobushin (samurai without official appointments who received small salaries).
また、この屋敷替えに合わせるように、8月21日、大目付の庄田安利（浅野長矩は罪人であるとして庭先で切腹させた人物）・高家肝煎の大友義孝（吉良義央腹心の部下）・書院番士の東条冬重（義央の実弟）など、義央に近いと見られた人物が「勤めがよくない」として罷免されて小普請編入となっている。
