고려후기~조선초 驪興閔氏 閔霽 家系의 정치적 동향

Abstract

This study was prepared to examine the trend of the Minje family of the Yeo Heung-Min family in the late Goryeo and early Joseon Dynasty. The Minje family continued to serve as servants from the end of the Goryeo Dynasty and produced queens and meritorious subjects even after the founding of the Joseon Dynasty. The Minje family provides an example of the background and existence of the ruling power during the period of change of dynasty. In this paper, paying attention to these points, I examined Minje's personal connections and activities. During the period of change of dynasty, Minje cooperated with the Lee Seong faction and formed a relationship with the forces opposing the establishment of the country. Political activity was based on these relationships. After King Taejong ascended the throne, Minje emerged as a talented person who produced queens and public servants. In addition, the Minje family, which had ties with major political figures, exercised influence over the royal family and politics. This purge is not simply to get rid of Min, who is related by blood. Taejong purged the Min brothers to prevent the monopoly of certain forces in politics. As a result, the Min family moved away from politics.
