Abstract

Mukjae LeeKwi was one of the representative bureaucratic writers of the mid-Joseon Dynasty, who was criticized countless times by the ministers of the time for posting numerous petition to the king. He was even rated as Sobyeok(疏癖) or Soma(疏魔) by petition to the king. The reason was that his petition to the king was so frequent and bold that it contained content different from the general consciousness of bureaucrats at the time. However, Lee Kwi's petition to the king received loyality's recognition with numerous criticisms. If you look at four petition to the king related to the theory of a faction among LeeKwi’s petition to the king, you can see several characteristics. The first is the logic of the petition to the king, and the logic of LeeKwi’s petition to the king is based on the essential and principled part. The second is the narrative structure of the petition to the king, which consists of a one-on-one narrative structure that presents the contents of criticism and denial to refute the criticism and denial of the petition to the king and refutes the contents of the criticism and denial one by one. Third is the logic and method of criticism, and LeeKwi refuted the denial and criticism logic of his petition to the king through a detailed explanation of the case based on the essential and principled part. Due to these characteristics, LeeKwi’s petition to the king was not accepted by the king, but he was able to escape the political difficulties caused by the petition to the king, and the denial of his petition to the king was not a point of argument and logic, but a matter of practical application. Also, for this reason, LeeKwi appealed in a direct and direct expression that could be said to be radical regardless of the subject of criticism, but the loyalty of the petition to the king could not be denied by anyone.
