大學士王鐸深知之，鐸罷相失職，樞亦久之不調。 Grand Academician Wang Duo thought highly of him. When Duo lost the chief ministry and fell from power, Shu too went long without a new appointment.

中和初，王鐸復見用，以舊恩徙為鄭滑掌書記、檢校司封郎中，賜金紫，入朝歷兵、吏二員外郎。 Early in the Zhonghe era Wang Duo returned to power. Out of old friendship Shu was made secretary to the Zheng-Hua command and investigating director in the Bureau of Enfeoffments, granted the gold-and-purple insignia, and after returning to court served as vice director in the ministries of War and Personnel.
