Also, when FUJIWARA no Michinaga was the Nairan sadaijin (minister of the left who has a right to read and deal with documents before reporting to the Emperor from Daijokan, the Great Council of State), he handed his Johyo on April 27, May 9 and 18 due to his illness, it was temporarily accepted until his recovery, and on July 16, when Michinaga recovered, it was cancelled ("Gonki" [FUJIWARA no Yukinari's Diary]).
長保2年（1000年）に内覧左大臣の藤原道長が病気のために4月27日・5月9日・18日に上表をして回復までの間との留保付で一旦辞任の勅許が下されているが、7月16日に道長の回復を理由に先の勅許が取り消されている（『権記』）例がある。
