(enter yi ui bang, che won, yi ko)
35 years after the Myochang rebellion, members of the military, disgruntled after so many years of discrimination and lack of recognition for their services, finally reached their breaking point in 1170. Yi Ui Bang, Yi Ko, Che Won and Chung Jong Bu instigated an uprising at Boje temple where they slaughtered countless officials and seized control of the state.
Yi Ui Bang removed Ui Jong from the throne and enstated his brother Myong Jong as the new emperor. Then, he killed his fellow instigators Yi Ko, Che Won and their men to ensure his absolute control. Abusing his newfound power, he married his daughter to the crown prince. During Kim Bodang's rebellion to restore Ui Jong to the throne, Ui Bang sent Yi Ui Min who killed the deposed emperor. Ui Jong's death resulted in a great deal of resistance and Yi Ui Bang was killed by the son of his greatest rival, Chung Kyun.
