Today, I went to Unhyoungung palace. Unhyoungung palace is a place where king Gojong and his father heungseongun lived. I will tell you about the house owne.
Heungseon's real name was 이하흥. Almost the end of Josean dynasty, Andong kim clan was holding the power of Josean. They killed loyal families for their power and made the king merry their doughter. Heungseon acted like a fool to be safe. His act made Andong clan think he is a fool even he was a loyal family. He hang out with gangsters and got drunk every day. But, he had a plan.
At that time, the king didnt had a son. So he went to the kings grandmother and asked her to make his second son the king. A loyal idiot suddenly became a kings father! After he became a father of a king, he did many things. First, he reformed the tax system. So novel men had to pay it too. He also tried to rid df Andong kim clan. He rid of secondary schools which made the power of andong kim clan. When he first came out with his politics, people liked him. But when he started to rebuild the palace, people started to hate him. And because of his closed door politics, we had many wars with other countries. I think his way was wrong. If he opened our door and made relationship with other countries, maybe we could have stop Japanese invading by advanced technologhy |
