As "daimyō", he was assigned to several ceremonial postings as guard of various gates to Edo Castle. In January 1776, he became a "Sōshaban" (Master of Ceremonies) and in April 1777 he rose to the position of "wakadoshiyori" (Junior Councilor) under "Shōgun" Tokugawa Ieharu. However, with the assassination of Tanuma Okitomo in April 1784, he rapidly lost favor at Court and attempted to resign his posts, but his request was refused. However, he fell ill later in the year, and died two years later at the age of 58.
