八月壬辰，左神策軍護軍中尉王宗實立鄆王溫為皇太子，權句當軍國政事。 癸巳，皇帝崩于咸寧殿，年五十。 謚曰聖武獻文孝皇帝。 咸通十三年，加謚元聖至明成武獻文睿智章仁神聰懿道大孝皇帝。 【贊】贊曰：春秋之法，君弒而賊不討，則深責其國，以為無臣子也。 憲宗之弒，歷三世而賊猶在。 至於文宗，不能明弘志等罪惡，以正國之典刑，僅能殺之而已，是可歎也。 穆、敬昏童失德，以其在位不久，故天下未至於敗亂，而敬宗卒及其身，是豈有討賊之志哉！ 文宗恭儉儒雅，出於天性，嘗讀太宗政要，慨然慕之。 及即位，銳意於治，每延英對宰臣，率漏下十一刻。 唐制，天子以隻日視朝，乃命輟朝、放朝皆用雙日。 凡除吏必召見訪問，親察其能否。 故大和之初，政事脩飭，號為清明。 然其仁而少斷，承父兄之弊，宦官橈權，制之不得其術，故其終困以此。 甘露之事，禍及忠良，不勝冤憤，飲恨而已。 由是言之，其能殺弘志，亦足伸其志也。
In the eighth month on renchen Wang Zongshi, protective eunuch-commander of the Left Divine Strategy Army, installed Prince of Yun Wen as heir apparent to handle state and military affairs. On guisi the emperor died in the Hall of Universal Tranquility, aged fifty. His posthumous title was Sagely Martial and Dedicated Literary Filial Emperor. In the thirteenth year of Xiantong his posthumous title was augmented to Primordial Sagely to the Manifest Bright, Accomplished Martial, Dedicated Literary, Sagely Wise, Manifest Benevolence, Divine Perceptive, Admirable Way, and Greatly Filial Emperor. 【Praise】The Annals' method is this: when a ruler is murdered and the murderer goes unpunished, the state itself is held deeply at fault—as a realm without loyal ministers and sons. Xianzong's murderers survived through three reigns unpunished. As for Wenzong, he could not clarify Hongzhi and the others' crimes to set the state's penal standard right; he could only kill them—which is lamentable. Muzong and Jingzong were foolish youths who lost virtue; because their reigns were brief the realm had not yet collapsed into disorder, yet Jingzong in the end died by assassination—what will to punish the murderers could he have had! Wenzong was by nature respectful, frugal, and refined in learning; he once read Taizong's Essentials of Government and sighed with admiration. When he took the throne he was keen on governance; at Yanying audiences with chancellors he usually continued until the eleventh watch. By Tang custom the Son of Heaven held court on odd days; he ordered that canceled and released court days should all fall on even days. Whenever he appointed officials he summoned and questioned them, personally testing their ability. Therefore at the beginning of Dahe government was put in order and the age was called clear and bright. Yet he was benevolent but indecisive; inheriting his father and elder brother's abuses, eunuchs bent power, and because he could not master them by the right method he was trapped in the end. The Sweet Dew affair brought disaster on the loyal; unable to overcome wrongful indignation, the worthy drank resentment to the dregs. From this perspective, that he could kill Hongzhi was enough to fulfill his purpose.

昔武丁得一傅說，為商高宗。 武宗用一李德裕，遂成其功烈。 然其奮然除去浮圖之法甚銳，而躬受道家之籙，服藥以求長年。 以此見其非明智之不惑者，特好惡有不同爾。 宣宗精於聽斷，而以察為明，無復仁恩之意。 嗚呼，自是而後，唐衰矣！
In antiquity Wuding obtained one Fu Yue and made the Shang high ancestor. Wuzong employed one Li Deyu and thereby accomplished his great achievements. Yet he energetically abolished the Buddhist law while personally receiving Daoist registers and taking medicine to seek long life. From this one sees he was not a wise man wholly free from delusion; only his likes and dislikes differed. Xuanzong was skilled in hearing and deciding but took scrutiny for clarity and showed no further benevolent grace. Alas, from this time onward Tang declined!
