고려 공양왕대 신율(新律) 찬진(撰進)의 정치적 의미

Abstract

This study examined the background of the compilation of the Sinyul during the reign of King Gongyang of Goryeo and reviewed the actual situation used to reveal the meaning of Sinyul compilation. At the end of the Goryeo Dynasty, various code such as Wonyul and Táminglǜ were accepted and applied together with the Goryeo code. Accordingly, a movement to unify with one code appeared, and one of the results was Sinyul. Therefore, we looked at it in connection with the political situation of King Gongyang. The need for penal administration reform was highlighted in the process of dealing with the five crimes used by Yi Seong-gye’s party to eliminate opposition party. In addition, the intention to check the Yi Seong-gye’s party was partially reflected in Sinyul. What this was confirmed was the punishment for the false accusation of rebellion. Unlike the punishment of false accusation before Sinyul compilation, after Sinyul compilation, everyone is sentenced to death, and the scope of involvement expanded. Jeong Mong-ju tried to eliminate Jeong Do-jeon and Jo Joon through Sinyul, but eventually failed as he was killed. Since then, Yi Seong-gye’s party have taken away the right to punish based on Sinyul from King Gongyang and blocked Jeong Mong-ju’s attempts to check opposition party through the Sinyul.
