Yeongjo of Joseon
1694 CE–1776 CE · Hanseong (Seoul)
Yeongjo of Joseon (1694-1776) was the twenty-first king of Korea's Joseon dynasty and its longest-reigning monarch, on the throne from 1724 to 1776. He is best known for his Tangpyeong policy, an effort to reduce the destructive factional strife at court by balancing appointments among rival political groups, and for reforms easing the tax and military burdens on commoners. His reign is also remembered for the tragic episode in which he ordered the death of his son, Crown Prince Sado, who was sealed inside a rice chest until he died.
