to prevent kunitoki from inheriting the head post of the tokuso family , the adachi clan recommended yasuie hojo , takatoki ' s younger brother and son of okatadono (kakukai enjo ), as the successor to takatoki . 安達氏側は邦時の家督継承を阻止するべく、高時の弟で大方殿の子北条泰家を高時の後継として推していた。
in 1552 , defeated by ujiyasu hojo , norimasa uesugi , kanto kanrei , fled to echigo province , and proposed that he would hand over the head post of the uesugi family and the kanto kanrei post to kagetora . 天文21年（1552年）、北条氏康に敗れた関東管領・上杉憲政は越後国へ逃れ、景虎に上杉氏の家督と関東管領職の譲渡を申し入れていた。
kagetora held the ceremony of inheriting the head post of the uesugi family and that of assuming the kanto kanrei post at tsurugaoka hachiman-gu shrine in kamakura city , sagami province , and changing his name to masatora uesugi , returned to echigo province . 景虎は、相模国・鎌倉市の鶴岡八幡宮で、上杉家家督相続と関東管領職就任の儀式を行い、名を上杉政虎と改めて越後国へ引き揚げた。
then , on may 31 , 1716 , yoshimoto reported the situation to the bakufu , and requested that yoshitsugu should be resigned from the post and the family head post should be inherited by momojiro (later mototaka mori ), the 15-year-old heir . そこで、正徳6年4月11日 (旧暦)（1716年）に、吉元は幕府へ報告し、元次に隠居を命じ、15歳になる元次の嫡子･百次郎（後の毛利元堯）に家督相続を許されるように願い出た。
even if having the right to have an audience with the shogun , a hatamoto actually could have an audience with the shogun only in the occasion of succession to family headship or atoshiki-sozoku (inheriting the family head post because his father died ), if he earned a small amount of rice crop or was provided with no post . また、小禄や無役の旗本は将軍に拝謁の資格があったものの、実際に拝謁できたのは家督相続・跡式相続のときのみであった。
