敬宗立，視朝常晏，數遊畋失德。 Under Jingzong, audiences were habitually late and the emperor often hunted to the neglect of rule.

敬宗立，紳貶端州司馬，朝臣過宰相賀，閽者曰：「止，宰相方與補闕語，姑伺之。」 At Jingzong's accession Shen was demoted to Duanzhou Sima; officials coming to congratulate the chancellor were told, "Wait—the chancellor is with the Supplementation Officer."

敬宗喜為歌詩，議置東頭學士，以備燕狎。 Jingzong loved verse and talked of Eastern Head academicians for private amusement.
