왕은 못 됐지만 후손은 50만, 증손자 109명을 본 효령대군의 또 다른 기록

King Sejong the Great, who created the Korean alphabet for the sake of the people. He had an older brother right above him: Grand Prince Hyoryeong, the second son of King Taejong Yi Bang-won. On the day his older brother Yangnyeong was ousted from the position of Crown Prince, this second son was clearly destined to become the next king in terms of lineage. The throne was within his reach. However, that seat went not to the second son, but to the third son, Chungnyeong—the King Sejong we know today. We commonly believe that "Hyoryeong yielded the throne to his younger brother out of a benevolent heart." However, the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty present a completely different scene. Who was it that forced him to step aside? And having stepped back from the throne, why did he choose to kneel before Buddha in a Confucian nation? This video calmly follows historical records to trace how a prince who could have become king stepped aside from the very center of power, and how he survived alone to the age of 91 through a bloody era in which his younger brother Sejong, his nephews, and even the young head of the royal family fell one by one before the power of the throne. This is the story of the person who could have risen the highest, yet ultimately stayed by his side the longest. Did stepping aside from the most splendid position actually save him? Please listen to the story Hyoryeong's long life tells us until the very end. 📚 Historical References Annals of King Taejong (Record of the replacement of the Crown Prince on June 3, the 18th year of King Taejong's reign, etc.) Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (Records from the reigns of King Sejong, King Munjong, King Danjong, King Sejo, and King Seongjong) #PrinceHyoryeong #KingSejong #PrinceYangnyeong #JoseonPrince #RoyalSuccession #SelectionOfTheRighteous #PrinceWhoCouldHaveBecomeKing #PrinceWhoLivedTo91 #WhyDidPrinceHyoryeongStepAside #JoseonRoyalPatronOfBuddhism #TheGyeuyuJeongnanAndRoyalRelatives #TheDivergentFatesOfThreeBrothers
