Later, he served successively as Xinghua County Magistrate, Secret Pavilion School Manager, Chenzhou Tongpan, Suzhou Zhizhou, Quanzhi Kaifeng Prefecture and other positions.

Because of his impartiality and outspokenness, he was repeatedly criticized.

After the outbreak of the Song-Xia War, he and Han Qi served as deputy envoys of Shaanxi Economic Strategy, Peace and Recruitment, and adopted the policy of "garrisoning the fields for a long time" to consolidate the northwest border defense.

It played a role in promoting the peace talks between Song and Xia.

After things calmed down in the northwestern frontier, Song Renzong summoned Fan Zhongyan back to the court and was appointed deputy envoy to the privy council. Later, he paid homage to the minister of political affairs, wrote the "Reply to the Imperial Edict on Ten Matters", initiated the "Qingli New Deal" and implemented reforms.

Soon after the New Deal was frustrated, he invited himself out of Beijing and visited Pizhou, Dengzhou, Hangzhou and Qingzhou.

In the fourth year of Huangyou's reign, he changed his name to Yingzhou and died on the way to take office at the age of sixty-four.

It can be said that he is both civilized and military, and extremely resourceful.
