俄代高駢領西川節度。 He soon replaced Gao Pian as military commissioner of Xichuan.

吏倚駢為奸利者，安潛皆誅之，數更除繆政，於是盜賊衰，蜀民以安。 He executed officials who had profited through Pian's patronage, repealed corrupt policies one after another, and banditry waned until the people of Shu lived in peace.

宰相盧攜素厚駢，乃誣以罪，罷為太子賓客，分司東都。 Chief Minister Lu Xie, who had long favored Pian, trumped up charges against An Qian and demoted him to guest of the heir apparent with duty at the Eastern Capital.
