Today, I went to Unhyun Palace. In there, I learned Hensun Daegwongun and GoJong's life. Unhyun Palace was Hengsun Daewongon's personal house, so it is a not real palace. Unhyun Palace is important because GoJong was borned and GoJong married with Queen Min in there. In fact, Hensen Daewongon agreed the marrige because Queen Min's father died. He worried that her father could controlled Joson. But later, they fought and Queen Min was murdered by Japanese.
Unhyun Palace has four buildings. They are Sujiksa, Noan-dang, Norak-dang, Iro dang. Sujiksa was for the guards and servants, and Iro dang was for Hensen Daewongon's wife. Norak-dang was for Queen Min and Noan-dang is for Hensen Daewongon and his guests.
Hengsun Daewongon's life was misfortune. In his early life, he hanged out with gangsters to survive form Andong Kim's people. They controlled Joson at that time. When his son became king, he controlled Joson instead of his son. He wrote Chinese letters which mean to live longer and good fortune. He was happy just for short times because Queen Min didn't let him to contrl Joson anymore. At last he dead lonely. Hengsun Daewangon was a poor man! |
