Changes

Masatoshi became ''Tairô'' soon afterwards, and was granted a domain worth 13,000 ''[[koku]]'' by Tsunayoshi. He was killed several years later, in 1684. The motives of the culprit, Masatoshi's cousin [[Inaba Masayasu]], are unknown. Following Masatoshi's death, Tsunayoshi took the opportunity to reorganize the shogunate's offices so as to weaken the ''rôjû'' and grant additional powers to the ''[[Soba-yonin|Soba-yônin]]'' (Chamberlains). Masatoshi was not succeeded as ''Tairô'', and much of his power came to be wielded by the shogun himself.
