In 943, Li Jianxun was sent out of the capital Jinling to serve as military governor of Zhaowu Circuit (, headquartered in modern Fuzhou, Jiangxi). When Southern Tang captured Jian Prefecture (, in modern Nanping, Fujian), the capital of its southeastern neighbor Min and thus ending Min, in 945, Li Jianxun, distressed at the poor discipline that the Southern Tang army displayed at Jian, including capturing the people of Jian to serve as servants, asked that the imperial government use its own stores of gold and silk to ransom the captured people of Jian to set them free, and Li Jing agreed. In 946, Li Jing recalled him to the imperial government to serve as "You Pushe" and "Menxia Shilang" (, deputy head of the examination bureau (), as well as chancellor, along with Feng Yanji. It was said that this time around as chancellor, Li Jianxun, while experienced in administrative matters, was indecisive, allowing Feng, who was considered wicked, to make most of the decisions.
