乾寧中，從討王行瑜，師次渭北，遣儼率五百騎護駕石門。 During Qianning he joined the campaign against Wang Xingyu. When the army halted north of the Wei, Yan was sent with five hundred cavalry to escort the emperor at Shimen.

儼分騎警衛，比駕還京，盜賊不作，以功授檢校右散騎常侍，屯於三橋者累月，昭宗寵錫優異。 Yan divided his cavalry for patrol and guard. By the time the emperor returned to the capital, banditry had ceased. For his service he was appointed acting Right Regular Attendant and garrisoned the Three Bridges for months, while Emperor Zhaozong showered him with exceptional favors.

光化初，車駕還京，授檢校太傅，封成陽郡公。 Early in the Guanghua reign, when the emperor returned to the capital, he was appointed acting Grand Tutor and enfeoffed as Duke of Chengyang.
