 He commissioned Liu Jun as the minister of imperial clan affairs (宗正卿, "Zhongzheng Qing") and deputy minister of public works (工部侍郎, "Gongbu Shilang").Toward the end of Liu Yan's "Qianheng" era (917-925), there was a time when Liu Yan mobilized an army and placed it at Chao Prefecture (潮州, in modern Chaozhou, Guangdong), preparing to launch it against Southern Han's northeastern neighbor Min.Liu Jun found this inadvisable, so he discussed this with the chancellor Yang Dongqian.
