조선왕조실록 (8.예종실록):

[山房山]

·/조선왕조실록 (8.예종실록): 조선왕조실록은 태조부터 철종까지의 조선왕조의 행정을 기록한 28편의 연대기이다. 고종과 순종의 기록은 모두 일제 강점기 당시 편찬되었기 때문에 실록에 포함되지 않았다. 이번 포스트에서는 조선의 제8대 왕 예종(睿宗)의 왕실 기록(1년, 1월 1일-15일)을 자세히 본다. (예술가 - 히스토리앤)

이황 (李晄)은 1450년 세조와 파평윤씨 (坡平尹氏; 사후 정희왕후)의 둘째 아들로 태어났다. 그는 해양대군이라는 칭호를 받았으며, 장자가 아님에도 왕위에 올랐으니 세조의 후계자가 어떻게 결정되었는지 자세히 살펴야 한다. 세조의 장남인 이장 (의경세자)는 1455년 16세의 나이에 세자에 책봉되었지만 고작 2년만에 건강악화 때문에 사망한다. 조선의 왕위계승법에 따르자면 의경세자의 장남인 월산대군이 세자가 되어야 마땅했지만 조카의 왕좌를 강탈한 세조는 불안감에 시달렸다. 의경세자가 어렸기에 단종과 같은 운명을 맞이할까 두려웠던 것이다. 하여 해양대군 이황은 1457년 태자에 책봉되었고, 10년동안 관련된 교육을 받았다. 1468년 세조가 죽자 19세에 비로소 이황은 조선의 8번째 임금이 되었다.

세조는 예종이 단종처럼 국정을 운영함에 경험이 없다는 것을 깨달았다. 세조가 세운 원상제도는 예종의 경험 부족 문제를 해결하기 위해 세운 제도다. 원상제도는 문종이 세운 황표정사제도와는 달리 몇몇 신하들에게 직접 국정을 운영할 수 있는 힘을 주었고, 거의 섭정에 가까웠다 볼 수가 있다. 원상제도는 명종 초기까지 이어졌고, 세조가 처음으로 임명한 훈구 제상들은 신숙주, 한명회, 구치관, 박원형, 홍윤성, 최항과 김국광이었다. 정희왕후 또한 예종을 위해 섭정을 했으며, 1468년부터 1469년까지 원상제도의 대신들과 함께 국정을 다스렸다.

비록 예종은 어린 나이에 왕이 되었지만 그의 부친의 뒤를 따라 왕권을 강화하려 했다. 차이가 있다면, 세조는 비교적 실력이 있는 신하들을 관대했고, 그들의 권력 남용들이 있었던 것 또한 사실이다. 예를 들자면, 전 포스트에 언급했듯이 좌익공신인 한명회와 신숙주는 세조에게 무례했다 한다. 하지만 그들은 세조가 왕위에 오르는데 공을 세웠기에 세조는 그들의 정치적 힘을 억지로 누르려 하지 않았다. 이후 이시애의 반란에 가담했다는 소문에 휩쓸렸던 한명회와 신숙주는 고작 10일만 가택연금을 받고 풀려났다. 그의 부친과는 달리 예종은 좌익공신을 포함한 모든 신료들의 힘을 견제하려 했다.

세조의 말년에는 조정에 막대한 권력 다툼이 있었다. 이 분쟁은 훈구세력, 종친세력과 근대에 생겨난 남이장군같은 무인들의 세력들 사이에서 벌어졌다. 당시 세조는 권력의 균형을 맞추지 못했다. 왕권을 강화하려는 예종은 이 정치세력들을 질시하기 시작했고, 특히 남이을 질투했다.

위에 언급된 정치 세력들의 충돌은 1468년 시작되었다 볼 수가 있다. 의령 남씨인 남이는 태종과 원경왕후의 넷째 딸인 정선공주의 외손자였으며, 세조 3년 무과에 장원하였다. 남이는 이시애의 반란을 진압하는데 공을 세워 적개공신이 되었고, 야인들을 토벌해 세조의 총애를 받았다. 남이는 빠른 속도로 진급하였고, 처음엔 공조판서, 후에는 병조판서의 자리까지 올랐다. 예종은 남이가 병조판서에 오른 것에 대해 불만이 많았고, 예종의 즉위 후 훈구의 모함에 의해 남이는 겸사복장으로 강등되었다. 하지만 이 사건은 예종이 훈구를 지지했다는 것은 아니고, 경멸하는 정치 세력들을 서로 공격 함으로써 힘을 잃게 하는 것이었다.

남이 세력의 정치적 몰락에는 즉각적인 사유가 있었다. 이긍익 (1736-1806)이 저술한 연려실기술에 의하면 이 사건은 ‘남이의 옥사’였으며, 유자광이라는 대신의 모호한 고발때문에 벌어졌다. 기록에 따르면 유자광은 남이가 지나가는 혜성에 대해 한 말을 엿들었고, 그의 ‘옛 것이 새 것으로 바뀐다’는 해석을 예종을 왕위에서 끌어내린다는 역모 사건으로 조작했다. 이 언사때문에 남이는 역모로 몰렸지만, 그의 말의 뜻에 대해서는 아직 논란이 있다. 남이가 이 말을 함에 유력한 이유는 자신을 모함하고 끌어내린 훈구에 대한 불만에 비롯되었을 수가 있다고 볼 수가 있기 때문이다. 하지만 재판은 불공평했고 남이에게 불리한 증언도 나왔다. 남이를 못마땅해하던 예종은 결국 고문을 통해 자백을 받아냈고, 남이를 처형했다.

논란이 된 남이의 옥사 사건 외에 예종은 그의 아버지인 세조에 대한 집착에 가까운 효심으로 알려져있다. 세조가 죽은 뒤, 대신들은 그에게 신종, 예종, 성종중 하나의 시호를 주려 하였다. 그러나 예종은 그의 아버지에게 ‘세종’보다 높은 ‘세조’의 칭호를 붙일 것을 주장했다. 문종의 노력으로 세종의 이름이 지어졌음을 돌아본다면 폐륜을 저지른 세조가 그 칭호를 받았다는 것에는 예종의 집착적인 헌신을 말해준다.

The Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty (조선왕조실록) comprises of 28 sets of chronological records which covers the reigns of Joseon kings from Taejo to Cheoljong. Both Gojong and Sunjong’s records were not considered to be a part of the annals because their royal records were compiled during the late 1920s to early 1930s. In this post, we will cover the royal records of the eighth King of the Joseon Dynasty during his first year of reign (1년 1월 1일-15일, Year 1, January, 1469, Yejong).

이황 (Yi Hwang, 李晄) was born in the year 1450 as the second son of King Sejo and Lady Yun of the 파평 윤씨 Family (Papyeong Yun Clan, [坡平 尹氏], posthumously known as Queen Jeonghui), which means that he bore the title of 대군 and was established as 해양대군 (Haeyangdaegun). The issue regarding Sejo’s successor and the right of rule of the Crown Prince must be noted here. Sejo’s eldest son, 이장 (Yi Jang/의경세자), was made Crown Prince in the year 1455 at the age of 16 but died only two years later due to poor health conditions. According to the principle of succession, Sejo’s eldest line had the right of rule meaning that the deceased Crown Prince Uigyeong’s first son, 월산대군 (Grand Prince Wolsan), was to become the successor to the throne. King Sejo’s growing fear and anxiety from his nephew’s forced abdication haunted him his entire life. After Crown Prince Uigyeong’s death, the King was worried that Wolsandaegun would suffer the same fate as Danjong. Wolsandaegun was also deemed too young as he was only 4 years old by the time of Crown Prince Uigyeong’s death. Hence, Haeyangdaegun was appointed as Crown Prince in 1457 and received proper education for about ten years. King Sejo’s death occurred one year later in 1468 and the 19 year old Yejong rose to become the eighth ruler of the Joseon Dynasty.

Similar to Danjong, Sejo realized that Yejong did not have the proper experience in managing government affairs. The 원상제도 (Wonsangjaedo) system was established by Sejo shortly before his death in order to resolve the issue regarding Yejong’s lack of experience. Keep in mind that unlike the 황표정사 system created by Munjong, the appointed ministers of 원상제도 ruled close to the levels of regents of the country and the system ultimately lasted into the early years of Myeongjong’s reign (13th King). Through this system, seven high ranking officials of the 훈구 were first appointed by King Sejo in 1468 (신숙주, 한명회, 구치관, 박원형, 홍윤성, 최항, 김국광). Sejo’s Queen consort (Queen Jeonghui - at the time 왕대비/Royal Queen Dowager Jaseong, later 대왕대비 Jaseong during Seongjong and Yeonsangun’s reigns) became ruling regent due to Yejong’s age and managed state affairs alongside Wonsangjaedo from 1468-1469. Although Yejong became King at a young age, he sought to strengthen the monarchy in order to follow the wishes of his deceased father. The main differences between Yejong and Sejo’s approach in strengthening the monarchy was how they handled the maintenance of political power of the ministers. Sejo was known to have been more lenient towards the officials which led to an abuse of their power. As explained in the previous annals post, high-ranking officials from the 좌익공신 (ministers who helped Sejo to be crowned King - Notably 한명회/Han Myeong-hwe and 신숙주/Shin Suk-ju) began to abuse their power and disrespect King Sejo. But because they had contributed to his cause, Sejo did not restrain their political power. An example of this was when Han Myeong-hwe and Shin Suk-ju were imprisoned due to their rumored involvement in the Yi Si-ae Rebellion. According to records, they were released after being imprisoned and interrogated for 10 days. Yejong’s approach in strengthening the throne was to focus primarily on consolidating his personal power by restraining the political power of the officials.

During the latter years of Sejo’s reign, there was a great power struggle within the court. This conflict arose between the 훈구/Hungu forces, the 종친/Jongchin forces, and the newly emerging political forces led by high ranking military officials such as General 남이 (Nam Yi) of the Uiryeong Nam Clan. At the time, albeit having somewhat of a stronger control in affairs, King Sejo was unable to balance and reduce tensions between the political forces near the end of his reign. Yejong, who planned to strengthen the kingship, wanted to contain the rise in this newly emerging political force and in time, started to heavily dislike Nam Yi. The year 1468 is important as this was when tensions in the court emerged between the political forces of Nam Yi and the Hungu. Nam Yi’s grandmother was the fourth daughter of Taejong and Queen Wongyeong, and in the 3rd year of Sejo’s reign, placed first in the military civil service exam. He was given a major award for suppressing Yi Si-ae’s rebellion and proceeded to succeed in conquering “barbarian” tribes, and subsequently received Sejo’s appreciation. General Nam Yi and other figures such as 구성군 and 강순 was listed among the members of the 적개공신 which were titles given to the officials who helped in suppressing the Yi Si-ae Rebellion. General Nam was promoted within the ranks and rose to become Gongjo Panseo (공조판서) then Byeongjo Panseo (병조판서) by order of King Sejo. Yejong expressed great dissatisfaction with General Nam Yi becoming Byeongjo Panseo which was backed by the aligning views of the Hungu forces. The Hungu viewed Nam Yi’s political group as a threat to their power. After the rise of Yejong to the throne, the Hungu claimed that Nam Yi did not deserve to be Byeongjo Panseo and he was demoted to Gyeomsabokjang (an officer post in the royal guard) by Yejong. However, this did not mean that Yejong supported the Hungu and the young King was determined to suppress the Hungu forces while eradicating the new political forces.

The complete downfall of Nam Yi and his supporters was caused by a specific precipitating cause. As recorded in the 연려실기술 by 이긍익 (1736-1806), this incident is known as ‘남이의 옥사’ which began with the ambiguous accusation made by minister Yu Ja-gwang. According to records, Yu Ja-gwang had overheard Nam’s message on a passing comet and interpreted his words as means of replacing the old with the new and in turn, staging a rebellion to overthrow King Yejong. This was an accusation of treason yet the interpretation is still up for debate. The most likely reason why Nam had stated this was due to his frustration with the Hungu, who framed and brought him down. To make matters worse for Nam Yi, the trial was unfair and testimonies were made against him. Nam and his supporters were powerless in this situation and in turn, they confessed (regardless of whether it was a real or fake confession), and were executed.

Besides the controversial Nam Yi incident, Yejong is known for his close-to-obsessive dedication to his father. After the death of Sejo, the officials had intended to give him one of the following posthumous names: Shinjong, Yejong, or Seongjong. However, Yejong insisted that his father be given the title “Sejo” (which is a more impressive title than Sejong). Recall that Sejong was named thus due to Munjong’s efforts. Considering that Sejo had committed 폐륜 (dethroning and killing his nephew), that he was named “Sejo” speaks volumes about Yejong’s dedication to his father.
