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 his chancellorship and his position, Shu also went long without reassignment.

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。 At the beginning of Zhonghe, Wang Duo was again employed; out of old kindness Shu was transferred to chief secretary of Zheng-Hua and acting director of the Department of Feudal Ranks, granted gold seal and purple robe; entering court he served successively as vice director in the ministries of War and Personnel.
