肅宗將大用勉，會李輔國寵任，意欲勉降禮於己。 Suzong was on the point of giving Mian major responsibility when Li Fuguo, then in high favor, expected Mian to show him deference.

勉不為之屈，竟為所抑，出歷汾州、虢州刺史，改京兆尹、檢校右庶子、兼御史中丞、都畿觀察使。 Mian refused to bend and was ultimately blocked by Li Fuguo. He was sent out as prefect of Fen and Guo, then appointed metropolitan governor of Jingzhao, acting right vice grand mentor, censor-in-chief, and observation commissioner of the capital region.
