Abstract

Ryu Gyung had Choi Hang(崔沆)’s wholehearted confidence as a fundamental member of Jeongbang(政房) in the period of Choi Hang’s political power. He had experienced political alienation, because of being an accomplice to the case of receiving stolenproperty of Song Gilyu(宋吉儒) who was a general, in the period of Choi Ui(崔竩)’s political power. Ryu Gyung caused a political upheaval in 1258, forming the anti-Choi Ui’s alliance power with Kim Jun(金俊) who was a commander of the Choi’s House Troops(家兵). Consequently, the Choi’s military power was collapsed. After political change, Ryu Gyung had taken power dominating Jeongbang, and had to do only public personnel admini-stration. At that time, he had tried to bring over to his side to military officials attached to Ungyanggun(鷹揚軍) that was a unit of palace guards(禁軍). Ryu Gyung was impeached by Kim Jun’s party on November in 1258. As the result, he handed over political power to Kim Jun who was the second rank of Wisagongsin(衛社功臣). In the period of Kim Jun’s political power, Ryu Gyung had compromised with Kim Jun. Therefore, he had leaded to seek high rank of public office. But, in the period of Im Yeon(林衍)’s political power, Ryu Gyung had encountered banishment, for criticizing Im Yeon as a petty character. Then, he bowed out of politics for a moment. <br>Ryu Gyung had seen plenty of civilian Kim Gu(金坵) and Ju Yeol(朱悅) who were hold up by him. He discussed to political issues with Kim Gu, Ju Yeol etc. Ryu Gyung had recommended Won Bu(元傅), Heo Gong(許珙), Choi Nyung(崔寧) and Won Gong-sik(元公植) etc who were excellent civilians. Out of them, Won Bu was a Ryu Gyung’s junior civilian who compiled Gojongsillok(高宗實錄) with Ryu Gyung. On the other hand, Heo Gong, Choi Nyung and Won Gong-sik who were called as three great nobles of Jeongbang, were political support foundation of Ryu Gyung. Ryu Gyung had served three times as an official examiner of Gwageo(科擧), limited to the period of Kim Jun’s political power. Yi Jon-bi(李尊庇), An Hyang(安珦), An Jeon(安戩) and Yi Hon (李混) were disciples of Ryu Gyung who were chosen by Ryu Gyung. These disciples had formed Jwaju(座主)-Munsaeng(門生) relation, looking up to Ryu Gyung as their teacher. <br>Ryu Gyung had King Gojong(高宗)’s great confidence and support, in compensation of the restoration in 1258. King Gojong died in Ryu Gyung’s mansion on in 1259. This is supposed to provide supporting evidence that Ryu Gyung maintained to cozy relationship with the monarch. Before death of King Gojong, it was assumed that Ryu Gyung had written to a royal message against succession to the throne, discussing with monarch. After enthronement of King Wonjong(元宗), the political relation Ryu Gyung and the monarch was amicable. In 1268, immediately after Mujinjeongbyun(戊辰政變), Ryu Gyung had criticized political participation of eunuches, Kim Gyung(金鏡) and Choi Eun(崔) etc who were henchmen of King Wonjong. On this account, he was banished to isolated island by royal command, becoming worse relationship with the monarch. Under the reign of King Chungryul (忠烈王), Ryu Gyung made a great contribution to solve peacefully the incident false accusation about Jeonghwagungju(貞和宮主) and Kim Bang-gyung(金方慶). Based on the imperative trust of King Chungryul, he had a prop role that defended unfavorable situation of Goryo dynasty that was incorporated into under Mongol empire’s rule.
