五月辛酉，不豫，詔皇太子監國。 是夕，皇帝崩于紫宸內殿，年五十三。 【贊】贊曰：天寶之亂，大盜遽起，天子出奔。 方是時，肅宗以皇太子治兵討賊，真得其職矣！ 然以僖宗之時，唐之威德在人，紀綱未壞，孰與天寶之際？ 而僖宗在蜀，諸鎮之兵糺合勠力，遂破黃巢而復京師。 由是言之，肅宗雖不即尊位，亦可以破賊矣。 蓋自高祖以來，三遜于位以授其子，而獨睿宗上畏天戒，發於誠心，若高祖、玄宗，豈其志哉！ 代宗之時，餘孽猶在，平亂守成，蓋亦中材之主也！
In the fifth month on xinyou he was indisposed and ordered the crown prince to supervise the state. That evening the emperor died in the Purple Forbidden Inner Hall at age fifty-three. [Appraisal] The appraisal says: At the Tianbao disorders the great rebel suddenly arose and the Son of Heaven fled the capital. At that time Suzong as crown prince drilled troops to suppress the bandits—truly he held the proper role! Yet in Xizong's time Tang's prestige and virtue still lived in men's hearts and discipline was not yet broken—how did that compare with the Tianbao era? Yet Xizong was in Shu while the various commands' troops united in concerted effort, broke Huang Chao, and recovered the capital. From this it may be said that even if Suzong had not immediately taken the throne, he still could have broken the rebels. From Gaozu onward the throne had been yielded three times to sons, but only Ruizong, in awe of heaven's warning, acted from sincere heart—as for Gaozong and Xuanzong, was that truly their intent? In Daizong's time remnants still remained; in pacifying disorder and preserving what had been won he was roughly a ruler of middling talent!
