宗翰請立熙宗，宗幹不敢違，太宗不能拒，其義正，其理直矣。 Zonghan urged enthroning Xizong; Zonggan dared not refuse and Taizong could not reject — right in principle and just in grounds.

舊史稱睿宗寬恕好施惠，熙宗不終，海陵隕斃，自時厥後，得大位者皆其子孫，有以夫。 Old histories call Ruizong forgiving and generous; Xizong did not last, Hailing died violently — thereafter the great throne passed only to his line; there was reason in it.
