Biography
During King Chungjeong's brief reign, the politics of the court were controlled by powerful relatives of the royal family, including his mother's relative Yun Si-u and the retainer Bae Jeon. In addition, the country endured heavy Wokou raids beginning in 1349.
King Chungjeong's uncle Wang Gi secured imperial favor and married a Yuan daughter, Princess Noguk. Shortly thereafter King Chungjeong was deposed, and Wang Gi ascended the throne as King Gongmin.

gollark: Well, I do care about that, because having a worse economy means people's quality of life is generally worse.
gollark: I do think it would be good for cities to be split out into somewhat smaller cities with better land prices/traffic/etc, though.
gollark: Entirely anecdotally, I live in [RURAL AREA REDACTED] and don't like it because there is *nothing to do here*. Generally speaking, cities being less city-y would probably reduce productivity a lot which would be bad.
gollark: Hmm, so we need better treatments for age-related mental issues, you mean.
gollark: I mean, if you end up in horrible health in the later bits, yes, but otherwise it seems pretty great.
