時崔胤專政，亦倚全忠，二人因是相結，改樞吏部侍郎。 Cui Yin was then dominant at court and also relied on Quanzhong. The two formed an alliance, and Shu was made vice minister of personnel.

其年冬，昭宗幸華州，崔胤貶官，樞亦為工部尚書。 That winter Emperor Zhaozong went to Hua. When Cui Yin was demoted, Shu was made minister of works.

崔胤誅，以全忠素厚，相位如故。 After Cui Yin was executed, Shu retained his chief ministry unchanged, thanks to his long-standing ties with Quanzhong.
