사도세자의 서자, 정조의 이복동생 은언군(恩彦君)의 일생에 관한 연구

Abstract

Euneongun(恩彦君), who was born as King Yeongjo's illegitimate grandson, Crown Prince Sado's illegitimate son, and King Jeongjo's half-brother, is the grandfather of the 25th king Cheoljong. In connection with the succession of the throne in the late Joseon Dynasty, his family continued to be involved, and his life was not smooth. I t all s tart ed when he was born as t he f irst -born illegit imat e grandson of King Yeongjo, who had a strong favoritism. The first illegitimat e son of Crown Prince Sado wit h t he court lady is Euneongun, so to King Yeongjo, he was proof of the crown prince's promiscuity. After Im-O-Hwa-byeon, he left the palace and grew up in a poor environment. In connection with Hong Bong-han of King Yeongjo's reign, the 'Hwang Gyeong-ryong Incident' occurred, and he was exiled to Jeju Island with his younger brother, Eunsingun, for not paying the merchant s for credit. This was his f irst exile. However, wit h t he deat h of Eunsingun, he was released from exile, and after King Jeongjo ascended the throne, he was treated as the king's brother. There was no quiet day, such as the debt and non-payment to the merchants at EuneonPalace, and the blackmail from those who worked in the palace. However, he was safe under the protection of King Jeongjo, and King Jeongjo showed him special friendship. Because of this, he was further attacked by political forces such as Queen Jeongsun and Byeokpa, and when King Jeongjo died, his wife and daughter-in-law at the time of the Shinyu persecution were revealed to be Catholics, and they were implicated in this, eventually facing death. His son, Prince Sanggye(常溪君), was involved in the ‘Guseonbok treason case’ during the reign of King Jeongjo, and because of this, the family of Prince Euneon was exiled to Ganghwa Island. Despite being involved in the crime of treason, the exile to Ganghwado, which is close to Hanyang, can be said to show Jeongjo's friendship and to show the power of the king to the opposing forces. Later, during the reign of Sunjo, his family was almost involved in treason, and in the reign of Heonjong, his grandson was put to death for the crime of being promoted to treason. And when Heonjong died without an heir, Cheoljong was crowned by Queen Sunwon, who was the great queen mother. After Cheoljong's accession to the throne, his identity and honor are restored. In this way, I would like to examine the life of Euneongun, who was involved in an incident surrounding the throne issue in the late Joseon Dynasty and was in a series of exiles.
