In or before 800, when Zhang grew ill, one of his subordinates, Du Jian (杜兼) the prefect of one of Xusihao's prefectures, Hao Prefecture (濠州, in modern <a href="/wiki/Chuzhou" title="Chuzhou">Chuzhou</a>, <a href="/wiki/Anhui" title="Anhui">Anhui</a>), was plotting to succeed Zhang, and therefore, without Zhang's orders, arrived at Xusihao's capital Xu Prefecture (徐州). Li rebuked him and stated that if Du did not return to Hao Prefecture immediately, he would report this to the imperial government; Du, in fear, did so. When Zhang died in spring 800, the imperial government initially was set to commission Wei Xiaqing (韋夏卿) to succeed him, but the Xu Prefecture forces rebelled and supported Zhang's son Zhang Yin (張愔) as his successor. After forces commanded by <a href="/wiki/Du_You" title="Du You">Du You</a> the military governor of Huainan Circuit (淮南, headquartered at Yang Prefecture) and Zhang Pi (張伾) the prefect of Si Prefecture (泗州, in modern <a href="/wiki/Huai%27an" title="Huai'an">Huai'an</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jiangsu" title="Jiangsu">Jiangsu</a>) were both defeated by Xu Prefecture troops, the imperial government capitulated and allowed Zhang Yin to become military prefect (團練使, <i>Tuanlianshi</i>) of Xu Prefecture but took the other two prefectures and merged them into Huainan Circuit. </p><p>Thereafter, Li left Xu Prefecture and returned to Yang Prefecture. Du Jian, angry at how he felt Li took away his chance to control Xusihao, submitted an accusation to Emperor Dezong accusing Li Fan of having encouraged the rebellion of the Xu Prefecture troops. Emperor Dezong, in anger, issued an edict to Du You ordering him to execute Li. Du You, however, did not have the heart to do so. He showed the edict to Li, who indicated that he did not fear death. Du You, however, submitted a petition defending Li. Emperor Dezong, still not believing Li's faithfulness, summoned him to the capital <a href="/wiki/Chang%27an" title="Chang'an">Chang'an</a> to meet him personally. After meeting Li, due to Li's relaxed attitude and elegance, concluded that Li was not guilty of treason, made him <i>Mishu Lang</i> (秘書郎), an official at the <a href="/wiki/Palace_Library" title="Palace Library">Palace Library</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At that time, the official Wang Chun (王純) was powerful, and he tried to invite Li to a meeting, intending to promote Li if Li showed submission, but Li refused to meet him. Meanwhile, Li's fellow junior officials Wang Zhongshu (王仲舒), Wei Chengji (韋成季), and Lü Dong (呂洞) were then having many associates and often met to drink. They knew of Li's reputation and invited him to join them. He joined them once but, disliking how they gamed and used frivolous language, refused to join them again. Li later became <i>Zhuke Yuanwailang</i> (主客員外郎), a low-level official at the ministry of rites (禮部, <i>Lǐbu</i>), and yet later became <i>Yousi Yuanwailang</i> (右司員外郎), a low-level official under one of the secretaries general at the executive bureau of government (尚書省, <i>Shangshu Sheng</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-BT148_3-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BT148-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="During_Emperor_Shunzong's_reign"><span id="During_Emperor_Shunzong.27s_reign"></span>During Emperor Shunzong's reign</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Li_Fan_(Tang_dynasty)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: During Emperor Shunzong's reign"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 805, Emperor Dezong died and was succeeded by his son <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Shunzong_of_Tang" title="Emperor Shunzong of Tang">Emperor Shunzong</a>.

He was in charge of commissioning low-level officials, but on one occasion, he, after being misled by his messengers, was said to have made inappropriate commissions. He was thereafter demoted to be <i>Zhuzuo Lang</i> (著作郎), a supervisorial official at the archival bureau.

When the officials in charge requested that, instead of doing so, he wrote on white paper and attached it to the draft edict, he responded, "Then I would be writing a petition, not correcting the edict."

Later in 809, based on the recommendations of Li and Pei, Emperor Xianzong entered into a peace treaty with <a href="/wiki/Tibetan_Empire" title="Tibetan Empire">Tufan</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ZZTJ237_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ZZTJ237-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 810, there was an occasion when Emperor Xianzong and the chancellors talked about gods and pondered whether they existed. Li, guessing that Emperor Xianzong was beginning to ponder to follow <a href="/wiki/Alchemy" title="Alchemy">alchemists</a>' suggestions to take various medications to seek <a href="/wiki/Immortality" title="Immortality">immortality</a>, pointed out that <a href="/wiki/Qin_Shi_Huang" title="Qin Shi Huang">Qin Shi Huang</a> and <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Wu_of_Han" title="Emperor Wu of Han">Emperor Wu of Han</a> both failed in their efforts to achieve immortality, and that Emperor Xianzong's ancestor <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Taizong_of_Tang" title="Emperor Taizong of Tang">Emperor Taizong</a> had fallen ill from such medicines. Li advised Emperor Xianzong to seek peace in the realm and refuse the alchemists' overtures, stating to Emperor Xianzong that he would achieve the lifespan of the mythical <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Yao" title="Emperor Yao">Emperor Yao</a> and <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Shun" title="Emperor Shun">Emperor Shun</a> if he did so.<sup id="cite_ref-ZZTJ238_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ZZTJ238-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Li also advocated frugality.<sup id="cite_ref-BT148_3-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BT148-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <dl><dt>Opposition to regional governor's pretensions</dt></dl> <p>Also in 810, Wang E (王鍔) was set to be commissioned as the military governor of Hedong Circuit (河東, headquartered in modern <a href="/wiki/Taiyuan" title="Taiyuan">Taiyuan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shanxi" title="Shanxi">Shanxi</a>), and wanted an honorary chancellor title, so he bribed many of Emperor Xianzong's close associates. Emperor Xianzong thus issued a secret edict to Li and fellow chancellor <a href="/wiki/Quan_Deyu" title="Quan Deyu">Quan Deyu</a> ordering that Wang E be given the honorary chancellor title. Li drafted such an edict and then crossed out the words "and chancellor" in Wang's commission to show his opposition. Quan, who also opposed Wang's commission, was nevertheless dismayed and stated, "You can oppose it, but how is crossing out the words on the edict appropriate?" Li responded, "This is urgent. If the edict were issued, then it cannot be retracted. The sun is setting. How can we have enough time to oppose it?" After Li's and Quan's oppositions were heard by Emperor Xianzong, the matter of giving Wang the honorary chancellor title was dropped.<sup id="cite_ref-BT148_3-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BT148-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ZZTJ238_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ZZTJ238-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <dl><dt>Fall and death in honors</dt></dl> <p>Late in 810, Pei resigned on account of illness, and in spring 811, <a href="/wiki/Li_Jifu" title="Li Jifu">Li Jifu</a> was made chancellor to replace Pei, over Li Fan's opposition.<sup id="cite_ref-ZZTJ238_10-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ZZTJ238-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-NBT169_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NBT169-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Li Jifu thus resented Li Fan.
