田弘正效魏、博六州於朝，憲宗遣度宣諭，弘正知度為帝高選，故郊迎趨跽受命，且請遍至屬州，布揚天子德澤，魏人由是歡服。 When Tian Hongzheng surrendered the six Wei and Bo prefectures to the throne, Emperor Xianzong dispatched Du to announce the imperial will. Knowing that Du was the emperor's chosen envoy, Hongzheng met him outside the city, knelt to receive his instructions, and asked him to visit every subordinate prefecture to proclaim the Son of Heaven's grace. The people of Wei thereupon accepted the new order with relief.
王承宗、李師道謀緩蔡兵，乃伏盜京師，刺用事大臣，已害宰相元衡，又擊度，刃三進，斷靴，刜背裂中單，又傷首，度冒氈，得不死。 Wang Chengzong and Li Shidao, hoping to ease pressure on Cai, planted assassins in the capital to kill leading ministers. They had already murdered Chief Minister Wu Yuanheng and now attacked Du. The blade struck three times, cutting through his boot, slashing his back and tearing his under-robe, and wounding his head. Du survived only because he was wearing a thick felt cloak.
