二十一年正月癸巳，皇帝崩于會寧殿，年六十四。 順宗順宗至德弘道大聖大安孝皇帝諱誦，德宗長子也。 母曰昭德皇后王氏。 始封宣城郡王，大曆十四年六月，進封宣王。 十二月乙卯，立為皇太子。
In the first month of the twenty-first year, on guisi, the emperor died at Huining Hall, aged sixty-four. Emperor Shunzong, posthumously honored as the Supreme Virtue, Great Sagely, Great Peace, and Filial, bore the taboo name Song and was the eldest son of Dezong. His mother was Empress Dowager Zhuangxian, née Wang. He was first enfeoffed Prince of Xuancheng; in the sixth month of Dali 14 he was promoted to Prince of Xuan. In the twelfth month on yimao he was installed as heir apparent.
204
為人寬仁，喜學藝，善隸書，禮重師傅，見輒先拜。 從德宗幸奉天，常執弓矢居左右。 郜國公主以蠱事得罪，太子妃，其女也，德宗疑之，幾廢者屢矣，賴李泌保護，乃免。 後侍宴魚藻宮，張水嬉綵艦，宮人為櫂歌，眾樂間發，德宗驩甚，顧太子曰：「今日何如？」 太子誦詩「好樂無荒」以為對。 及裴延齡、韋渠牟用事，世皆畏其為相，太子每候顏色，陳其不可。 故二人者卒不得用。
He was by nature generous and benevolent, devoted to learning and skilled in clerical script. He greatly honored his tutors and always bowed to them first. When he accompanied Dezong to Fengtian he often stood at his side with bow in hand. When the Princess of Guo was condemned for sorcery—she was his consort's mother—Dezong grew suspicious and several times nearly deposed him; only Li Bi's protection saved him. Later, at a banquet at Yuzao Palace, painted warships floated for water games while palace women rowed and sang amid many instruments. Dezong was delighted and asked the heir apparent, "How does today compare? The heir apparent answered by quoting the line "Delight in music, but do not be reckless." When Pei Yanling and Wei Qumou held power everyone feared they would reach the chancellorship; the heir apparent repeatedly watched their conduct and argued they were unfit. Thus neither man was ever appointed.
205
貞元二十年，太子病風且瘖。
In Zhenyuan 20 the heir apparent suffered a stroke and lost his voice.
206
二十一年正月，不能朝。 是時，德宗不豫，諸王皆侍左右，惟太子臥病，不能見，德宗悲傷涕泣，疾有加。 癸巳，德宗崩。 丙申，即皇帝位于太極殿。
In the first month of the twenty-first year he could no longer attend court. Dezong was then gravely ill. All the princes waited at his side, but the heir apparent lay too ill to appear. Dezong wept in grief and his condition worsened. On guisi Dezong died. On bingshen he took the throne at the Hall of Supreme Ultimate.

十五年正月，宦者陳弘志等反。 庚子，皇帝崩，年四十三，謚曰聖神章武孝皇帝。 大中三年，加謚昭文章武大聖至神孝皇帝。 【贊】贊曰：德宗猜忌刻薄，以彊明自任，恥見屈於正論，而忘受欺於姦諛。 故其疑蕭復之輕己，謂姜公輔為賣直，而不能容； 用盧𣏌、趙贊，則至於敗亂，而終不悔。 及奉天之難，深自懲艾，遂行姑息之政。 由是朝廷益弱，而方鎮愈彊，至於唐亡，其患以此。 憲宗剛明果斷，自初即位，慨然發憤，志平僭叛，能用忠謀，不惑羣議，卒收成功。 自吳元濟誅，彊藩悍將皆欲悔過而効順。 當此之時，唐之威令，幾於復振，則其為優劣，不待較而可知也。 及其晚節，信用非人，不終其業，而身罹不測之禍，則尤甚於德宗。 嗚呼！ 小人之能敗國也，不必愚君暗主，雖聰明聖智，苟有惑焉，未有不為患者也。 昔韓愈言，順宗在東宮二十年，天下陰受其賜。 然享國日淺，不幸疾病，莫克有為，亦可以悲夫！
In the first month of the fifteenth year the eunuchs Chen Hongzhi and others rebelled. On gengzi the emperor died, aged forty-three, with the posthumous title Sagely Spirit, Martial, and Filial. In Dazhong 3 his posthumous title was expanded to Sagely Civil, Martial, Great Sagely, Supreme Spirit, and Filial. [Appraisal] The appraisal says: Dezong was suspicious, harsh, and thin-skinned. Taking forceful clarity as his virtue, he resented upright criticism yet welcomed the flattery of schemers. Hence his suspicion of Xiao Fu's disdain, his charge that Jiang Gongfu peddled blunt honesty, and his refusal to tolerate either; yet his use of Lu Qi and Zhao Zan led to defeat and chaos without final repentance. After the Fengtian crisis he punished himself deeply, then pursued an indulgent policy. The court thus weakened while frontier commands grew stronger; Tang's fall stemmed largely from this. Xianzong was firm, bright, and decisive. From his accession he burned to pacify rebellion, heeded loyal counsel, ignored clamor, and ultimately succeeded. After Wu Yuanji's execution powerful commands and fierce generals sought to repent and submit. Tang authority nearly revived; their relative merit scarcely needs comparison. Yet in his late years he trusted unfit men, left his work unfinished, and died by unforeseen violence—worse, in that respect, than Dezong. Alas! Small men can ruin a state without foolish or dark rulers; even sage emperors, once deluded, suffer harm. Han Yu once said that during Shunzong's twenty years as heir apparent the realm secretly benefited from him. Yet his reign was brief; illness kept him from achieving his aims—a cause for lament.
