무풍군 이총(李捴)의 피화와 복권의 역사적 의미

Abstract

King Yeonsan(燕山君) definded the Daegan(臺諫: remonstration officers)’s media activities as “Nungsang(凌上: insults to the superiors),” and oppressed them together with the Daesin(大臣: ministers). After the oppression of Daegan, King Yeonsan managed its own state. Then the Daesin also remonstrated, and Yeonsan-gun punished them indiscriminately. In the process, King Yeonsan also punished Kim Jong-jik(金宗直) and his disciples, as well as Cheongdam intellectuals(淸談派) who were uncooperative with the state. Yi Chong(李捴) was victimized by the massacres of Confucian scholars in 1498 and 1504. He was a disciple of Kim Jong-jik, the son-in-law of Nam Hyo-on(南孝溫), and a representative Cheongdam intellectual(淸談派), so he could not escape the massacres of Confucian scholars in period of King Yeonsan’s reign. However, he was not a direct object of the massacres of Confucian scholars. Because he was not the Daegan and wasn't related to 'the case where King Yeonsan's birth mother was kicked out of the queen'. Nevertheless, the whole family, including Yi Chong, were sacrificed by the massacres of Confucian scholars. King Yeonsan punished Yi Chong and finally said, 'The royals made a faction with officials and slandered the current affairs.' Perhaps because of this, King Yeonsan punished Yi Chong excessively. Immediately after the Jungjong Banjeong(中宗反正, Restoration in 1506), Yi Chong was reinstated, and received the title of 'Dojeong(都政)'. Even after that, he continued to receive posthumous honor. He was rewarded Jeongrye(旌閭: * This work was supported by the Gimcheon University Research Grant of 2019 (gc19030). 156 東洋古典硏究 第79輯 Memorial gateway) in 1705, the loyal name 'Mupunggun(茂豊君)' in 1735, and Siho(諡號: The honorable name given to the dead by the country) ‘Somin(昭愍)’ in 1796. In 1900, it was decided to record the case of Yi Chong in the royal genealogy, and there was a claim to fix it because Siho did not fit his case. As a result, in 1910, his Siho was changed to 'Chungmin(忠愍)'. Summarizing the contents of the posthumous honor, the evaluation of Yi Chong changed as follows. The evaluation of him gradually changed from 'a person whose royal family with excellent poetry and melody was sacrificed by the jealousy of petty men' to 'a person who forgot about the house work because he was worried about the country'.
