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.
