순조초기 정순왕후 수렴청정기의 官人 임용양상과 권력관계

Abstract

The early days of King Sunjo regime is the period when Queen Jeongsoon's regency behind the veil took place after the sudden death of KingJeongjo. Sunjo succeeded the throne while preparing for his marriage afterbeing acknowledged as the crown prince. The general reputation of this time of the regency by the queen mother was not very positive. It is told that the system built by King Jeongjo was demolished by Queen Jeongsoon who was a Byeokpa, and that the Kim family based in Kyeongju who is the family of Queen Jeongsoon before marriage hasseized the power with the Byeokpa. Just as how the 19th century is known,this was the era of sedo politics. The power in this era actually was dominated by the Bibyeonsa. However,the organized officials of Bibyeonsa in the early days of King Sunjo regime isdifferent from that of 19th century. It is generally known that in the 19th century, several families who are maternal relatives of the queen usually took power centering from Bibyeonsa. Central roles were seized by the maternal relatives or by other families tied with marriages, and these people started forming new power lines centering from Bibyeonsa. However, Bibyeonsa in the early days of King Sunjo regime did not consistof a particular family. In fact, the officials who served King Jeongjo remained. In Uijeongbu, Ijo, and even the general of the military camp consisted of the officials who served King Jeongjo. This is because Queen Jeongsoon wasdetermined not to break up the system of the late King Jeongjo. Nevertheless, the role of maternal relatives grew. In the early days of King Sunjo regime, Kim Jo-soon was the central power since King Jeongjo asked him for protection of King Sunjo. In addition, Park Jun-won, who is thematernal grandfather of Sunjo was also hired as an official by Queen Jeongsoon with the purpose of protecting the young king. Above all, Queen Jeongsoon's Kim family of Kyeongju actively advanced into politics centering Kim Kwan-ju. After the death of Queen Jeongsoon, the Kim family based in Kyeongju and the Byeokpa were eliminated. After six years of King Sunjo regime, Kim Jo-soon, cooperating with Cho family based in Pungyang, started sedo politics. Therefore, the early days of King Sunjo regime was the transition period from tangpyeong politics into sedo politics.
