During the period of the Yuan intervention, some of the most rebellious acts against the Goryeo dynasty and the king included “ipseongchaekdong”, a movement to overturn the Goryeo dynasty and establish the Yuan’s provincial office in its place, and the forceful dethroning of the King Gongmin and the enthroning of Deokheung-gun in his place. However, the participants of the rebellious movement were included in the book of disloyal officers instead of treason. Later some of them including Cho Ikcheong were even recorded as the loyal officer of the King Gongmin. Also, the punishment for those who advocated the enthroning of Deokheunggun was rather meek. For example, Ki Sukryun and Moon Ikjeom recovered their official positions. Indeed there was no case of harshly punishing the Yuan-advocating officers during the Goryeo dynasty. In the fifth year of the King Gongmin, the Yuan- advocating groups were eliminated, but it only included Noh Chaek, Kwon Gyeom, Ki Cheol and his direct families. The descendents of Noh Chaek and Kwon Gyeom were merely exiled and some of them even restored official positions. Meanwhile, the book of treason in the History of Goryeo Dynasty shows that the Yuan-advocating movement was not among criteria to be listed in the book, nor did the Yuan-advocating act was seen as treacherous.
