AB - The Gyojeong Dogam, established by Choe Chung-heon, continued to exist until the fall of the military regime in 1270. For more than half a century, the Gyojeong Dogam is generally known to have been the most powerful governing institution, supporting the authority of the supreme military ruler. Therefore, in understanding the military regime, the Gyojeong Dogam occupies a significant position, and its historical significance cannot be overlooked. However, although numerous scholarly achievements have accumulated regarding the Gyojeong Dogam, various interpretations and debates have continued in many respects up to the present.
Accordingly, the author begins by examining the time of the establishment of the Gyojeong Dogam, which may be regarded as the starting point among the issues that have long been subjects of debate. Based on a reconsideration centered on examples of ‘dogam’ established during the period of Choe Chung-heon regime, the author proposes - contrary to previous views - that the Gyojeong Dogam was established in the first month of 1206(the second year of King Huijong’s reign). Meanwhile, it is argued that the members of the Gyojeong Dogam during the period of Choe Chung-heon regime consisted of high-ranking officials such as jaechu and seungseon, as well as officials from the Ministry of Personnel Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs, who concurrently held these posts. Representative figures include No Gwan, Geum Ui, Choe Seon, and Gi Hong-su. It was also confirmed that the Gyojeong Dogam had functions beyond overseeing criminal cases and monitoring government misconduct, including supervising the civil service examination, managing personnel administration, and holding meetings on major state affairs that required the mobilization of official military forces. These functions are believed to have been transferred from the Dobyoungmasa and the Ministry of Personnel Affairs and Ministry of Military Affairs, via the Council of Generals, to the Gyojeong Dogam.
Considering the above, the historical significance of the establishment of the Gyojeong Dogam can be understood as Choe Chung-heon’s effort, after several years of preparation, to control the newly enthroned King Huijong and to firmly consolidate the political and military foundation of the Choe regime. Moreover, considering the characteristics of its members and the process through which its functions were transferred, the Gyojeong Dogam likely also served to lend official legitimacy and authority to the decisions made by Choe Chung-heon.
