Today I went to Gyeong-un Palace.
Japanese changed the name Gyeong-un to Deok-su.
There are lots of beautiful buildings, but I was most empressed at Jung-Gwan-hun.
It is the place of Go-jong and goverment officers drank coffee or relaxed.
It's type of western and trditional buliding mixed.
In Jung-Gwan-hun, Sun-jong, Joseon's last king or Daehan Empire's last king died.
Go-jong and his son, Sun-jong loved coffee. The servent who make coffee, he didn't like these two kings.
So he put poison in their coffee. Go-jong drank a bit and he felt something strange and
splited it out, but Sun-jong drank it all, so he was dead.
This palace has a sad story. |
