八年春正月乙卯，帝不豫。 己未，皇太子攝事於文華殿。 己巳，大漸，遺詔罷宮妃殉葬。 庚午，崩，年三十有八。 二月乙未，上尊諡，[3]廟號英宗，葬裕陵。

45
贊曰：英宗承仁、宣之業，海內富庶，朝野清晏。 大臣如三楊、胡濙、張輔，皆累朝勳舊，受遺輔政，綱紀未弛。 獨以王振擅權開釁，遂至乘輿播遷。 乃復辟而後，猶追念不已，抑何其惑溺之深也。 前後在位二十四年，無甚稗政。 至於上恭讓后諡，釋建庶人之繫，罷宮妃殉葬，則盛德之事可法後世者矣。
The appraisal says: Yingzong took up the legacy of Renzong and Xuanzong; the realm within the seas grew rich, and court and countryside knew peace. Grand ministers such as the Three Yangs, Hu Ying, and Zhang Fu were hereditary servants of several reigns, entrusted at the late emperor's death to guide the state, and public order had not yet slackened. Yet Wang Zhen's monopoly of power opened the breach, until the imperial carriage was driven into exile. After his restoration he still dwelt on these things without end—how deep his infatuation ran! Altogether he held the throne twenty-four years, with no grave harmful policies. In raising posthumous honors for Empress Gongrang, freeing the Deposed Heir from his bonds, and ending consort burial sacrifice, he left deeds of great virtue that later ages may take as models.
