Biography

杜兼,京兆人。
旧唐书卷一百四十六 列传第九十六:
  杜兼,京兆人,贞观中宰相杜正伦五代孙。举进士,累辟诸府从事,拜濠州刺史。兼性浮险,豪侈矜气。属贞元中德宗厌兵革,姑息戎镇,至军郡刺史,亦难于更代。兼探上情,遂练卒修武,占召劲勇三千人以上闻,乃恣凶威。录事参军韦赏、团练判官陆楚,皆以守职论事忤兼,兼密诬奏二人通谋,扇动军中。忽有制使至,兼率官吏迎于驿中,前呼韦赏、陆楚出,宣制杖杀之。赏进士擢第,楚兖公象先之孙,皆名家,有士林之誉;一朝以无罪受戮,郡中股栗,天下冤叹之。又诬奏李藩,将杀之,语在藩事中。故兼所至,人侧目焉。元和初,入为刑部、吏部郎中,拜给事中,除金商防御使,旋授河南少尹、知府事,寻正拜河南尹。皆杜佑在相位所借护也。元和四年,卒于官。
