建中元年，孟暤為涇原節度留後，自以文吏進身，不樂軍旅，頻表薦令言謹肅，堪任將帥。 In the first year of Jianzhong, Meng Min served as acting military governor of Jingyuan; he had advanced as a civil official and disliked military life, and repeatedly memorialized that Lingyan was diligent and sober and fit to command troops.

暤尋歸朝廷，遂拜令言為四鎮北庭行營涇原節度使、涇州刺史、兼御史大夫。 When Min soon returned to court, Lingyan was appointed military governor of Jingyuan in the Four-Garrisons and Beiting campaign command, prefect of Jingzhou, and concurrent Grand Censor.
