逢吉既代相，思有以牙孽之，引所厚李仲言、張又新、李續、張權輿等，內結宦官，種支黨，醜沮日聞，乃出度山南西道節度使，奪平章事。 Once Fengji replaced him as chief minister, he sought to destroy him. He gathered his protégés Li Zhongyan, Zhang Youxin, Li Xu, and Zhang Quanyu, allied with eunuchs, planted factions, and spread slanders daily until Du was sent out as commissioner of Shannan West and stripped of the chancellorship.
