King Yeongjo/英祖's renaming(改號) the Gyeonghi-gung/慶熙宮 palace, and the political meaning of his own relocation(移御) there : Analysis of the event's relation to the death of Crown-prince Sado Seja/思悼世子 Yoon, Jeong Lecturer, Gyeongsang National University In this article, the direct relation between King Yeongjo/英祖's renaming of the Gyeonghi-gung/慶熙宮 palace, and the death of Crown-prince Sado Seja/思悼世子, is examined. Yeongjo moved to the Gyeonghi-gung palace, spacially separating himself and his own son, and highlighted the history of Queen Inweon Wanghu/仁元王后 of Gyeonghi-gung. Then he put his own son Sado Seja to death, and had his grandson inherit the kingdom later. Through this, the argument of the 'Three Kings' bloodline'(三宗血脈　論), which legitimized King Yeongjo's own authority as a King, was extended to his grandson. In order to have the Gyeonghi-gung palace function as a new base for this purpose, he tried to eliminate the palace's own image of being a historical place that witnessed and housed the wrong-doings of former King Gwanghae-gun/光海君. And that was the reason why he came up with the new name 'Gyeonghi-gung' for this palace, which had originally been called as Gyeongdeok-gung/慶德宮. By King Yeongjo, this palace became a place testifying the legitimacy of King Yeongjo's kingdom, and to establish that new image strongly, he stayed there till the ending days of his own reign.
