This article is to look into kingship and a ruling system in the beginning reign of King Jinpyeong. Previous studies have mostly examined the relationships with the king and elites in the perspective of ‘kingship reinforcement’ and ‘making a ruling system’. In particular, kingship in the reign of King Jinpyeong has been characterized as autocracy or the starting point of absolute authority in the middle period. Different from the research trends, the article focuses on both domestic and foreign situations of Silla in the first year of King Jinpyeong. Through this perspective, this study tries to trace how king Jinpyeong handled immediate problems, which were resulted from territorial expansion in the reign of King Jinheung. Founded on the research, it will look forward to looking into dynamic responses of King Jinpyeong, rather than a dichotomous approach, such as conflicts of King and elites.
