初，梁已篡唐，封哀帝為濟陰王，既而酖殺之，瘞於曹州。 After the Later Liang usurped Tang, it enfeoffed Emperor Ai as Prince of Jiyin, then poisoned him and buried him at Cao Prefecture.

質乃建議立廟追謚，謚曰昭宣光烈孝皇帝，廟號景宗。 Lu Zhi then proposed establishing a temple and conferring a posthumous title: Zhaoxuan Guanglie Xiao Emperor, with the temple name Jingzong.

而議者以謂輝王不幸為賊臣所立，而昭宗、何皇后皆為梁所弒，遂以亡國，而「昭宣光烈」非所宜稱，且立廟稱宗而不入太廟，皆非是。 Critics argued that Prince Hui had the misfortune of being installed by treacherous ministers, that Emperor Zhaozong and Empress He were both murdered by Liang, leading to the fall of the dynasty, that "Zhaoxuan Guanglie" was an inappropriate posthumous name, and that establishing a temple with the title "Zong" without admission to the Grand Ancestral Temple was all improper.
