總河靳輔奏下河屯田，下九卿會議，乾學偕尚書張玉書言屯田所佔民地應歸舊業，科爾坤、佛倫勿從。 Jin Fu, director-general of the Yellow River, proposed garrison farming in the lower reaches; the Nine Ministers were convened, and Qianxue with Minister Zhang Yushu argued that seized farmland should be returned to its owners; Kelun and Folun dissented.

三十三年，諭大學士舉長於文章學問超卓者，王熙、張玉書等薦乾學與王鴻緒、髙士奇，命來京修書。 In year 33 the emperor told the Grand Secretaries to nominate men of exceptional literary and scholarly talent; Wang Xi, Zhang Yushu, and others recommended Qianxue along with Wang Hongxu and Gao Shiqi, and the court ordered them to Beijing to work on the histories.

惟大學士張玉書爲監修，尚書陳廷敬爲總裁，各專一類：玉書任志，廷敬任本紀，臣任列傳。 Only Grand Secretary Zhang Yushu served as supervising compiler and Minister Chen Tingjing as chief compiler—Zhang handled the treatises, Chen the annals, and I the biographies.

如是數年，匯分成帙，而大學士熊賜履續奉監修之命，檄取傳稿以進，玉書、廷敬暨臣皆未參閲。 After several years the biographies were assembled, but Grand Secretary Xiong Cilü, who had succeeded to the supervising post, requisitioned the draft biographies for submission without Zhang Yushu, Chen Tingjing, or myself having reviewed them.

不獨臣爲然，前入直諸臣，如熊賜履、葉方靄、張玉書、孫在豐、王士禎、硃彝尊等，近今同事諸臣，如陳廷敬、徐乾學、王鴻緒、張英、勵杜訥等，莫不皆然。 Nor was I alone: earlier men who served in the direct studios—Xiong Cilü, Ye Fang'ai, Zhang Yushu, Sun Zaifeng, Wang Shizhen, Zhu Yizun—and recent colleagues such as Chen Tingjing, Xu Qianxue, Wang Hongxu, Zhang Ying, and Li Dun'e all followed the same rule.

光地還京師，上命尚書張玉書等以德格勒試卷示九卿，並詰光地。 When Li Guangdi returned to the capital, the emperor ordered Minister Zhang Yushu and others to show Degele's examination papers to the Nine Ministers and to question Guangdi as well.

於是玉書等奏稱德格勒文實鄙陋，光地亦以妄奏引罪，命從寬免究。 Yushu and the others memorialized that Degele's writing was crude and vulgar; Guangdi also took blame for his false report, and both were leniently pardoned.

尋命偕尚書張玉書等勘閱河工。 Soon he was ordered to join Minister Zhang Yushu and others in inspecting river works.

集議日，馬齊先至，張玉書後入，問：「眾意誰屬？」 On the day of deliberation Ma Qi arrived first; when Zhang Yushu entered later he asked, 'Whom does the assembly favor?'

上以問大學士張玉書，玉書乃直舉馬齊語以對。 The emperor questioned Grand Secretary Zhang Yushu, and Yushu frankly repeated Ma Qi's words.
