What are Yan Shu's major achievements?
After the death of Zhenzong, Xianming Zhang was appointed to be in charge of the affairs of the Empress Dowager. Ding Wei, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and Cao Liyong, Tang Tang, both wanted to see Empress Dowager Cixi alone, but they were deadlocked at that time. Yan Shu stepped forward and suggested that the queen mother listen to politics. Ding and Cao couldn't see it, but the discussion was settled. This proposal played an important role in stabilizing the political situation at that time.
Renzong dynasty, Xixia Yuanhao rebelled, and the world was inferior to soldiers. Yan Shu, then prime minister and envoy of the Tang Dynasty, suggested that Renzong stop supervising the army, stop giving orders to the generals, and let them assess the situation and adapt to the situation. He also suggested rectifying the financial system. These suggestions were adopted by Renzong and achieved good results, which finally made Yuan Hao obey.
Yan Shu is a simple, brave and sincere person. Although he is rich, his life is quite simple, and he is willing to reward talents. Contemporary celebrities, such as Fan Zhongyan, Daofu Kong, Ouyang Xiu, etc., all went out of their homes to know that Fu Bi was poor and married his daughter. When Yan Shu was in power, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Fu Bi were all highly valued, and Taige was virtuous for a while, and did many important things that were beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood. What historians dubbed the "Qingli New Deal" was actually led by Yan Shu. Yan Shu was dismissed, Fan, Han and Fu were demoted, and the "Qingli New Deal" failed. When he was a local official, he set up a large school to train talents. Ouyang Xiu's statement that "since the Five Dynasties, learning in the world has been abolished and prospered in the public" is not a hollow reputation.
