In the third year of Jianzhong (782), du you offended the Prime Minister Lu Qi and was expelled from the imperial court and released to Suzhou.

Therefore, Emperor Dezong appointed du you as Zuo pushe, Tongping Zhangshi and xusi Jiedushi of Huainan control school, and asked him to attack Zhang min. Du you mobilized a large number of warships and ordered Meng Zhun to be the vanguard. However, because Meng Zhun was defeated, he did not dare to enter.

Glory in old age
In the second year of Yuanhe (807), du you asked to be an official. Tang Xianzong did not allow him to go to Zhongshu province every three or five days, but still took part in the government.
