He served as a government official, however, in his later years, he was banished from the imperial court after the death of Emperor Daizong in 779. He then held various provincial positions, including a stint as the governor of Fuzhou, Jiangxi and as the frontier commissioner (经略使, jinglue shi) of Rongzhou (容州) in Guangxi. He was recalled ten years later back to the court, but died before he reached the capital in 789.
