For total of three times, since 1356 through 1365, the Queen Gi faction of the Mongol Yuan empire tried to enthrone the Crown Prince, the son of Queen Gi, while the emperor was still in throne. Such attempt was made in the first place for the unstability of the Crown Prince's status, which is due to his mother Queen Gi's humble origin. In forming relationships with other political factions, the Mongol used to create relationships either as states or tribes, but also as 'families' as well. The relationship with the ruling family was very important and creating bonds based upon marital relationships was one of such practices. So was the relationship between Mongol and Goryeo, and here, parties that were directly involved were the Mongol imperial family and the Goryeo royal family. The relationship was only arranged in a single direction, as Mongol females married the Goryeo kings, and not vice versa. Queen Gi was from Goryeo, but from a family that was not the Goryeo royal family and certainly not a representative one inside Goryeo which could allow exceptional consideration in marriage arrangements at all. In the midst of Queen Gi faction's aforementioned attempts of replacing the Yuan emperor with his and the Queen's own son, and therefore enforcing the crown prince's status, the attempt to dethrone King Gong-min-wang took place. It seems that it was part of Queen Gi and the crown prince's intention to boost their own family status inside Goryeo by doing so, and ultimately create a more suitable environment for their gaining of more power. Queen Gi faction's attempt to remove Gongmin-wang was executed a little bit differently from Yuan's other earlier attempts. And such attempt proceeded differently even from prior examples of the Khan's replacing of other regional leaders. Such events seem to have been the result of the changed nature of the Goryeo-Yuan relationship, established since Gongmin-wang's reforms of 1356, and also because of the political interest of the Gi family. The Gi family, unlike other Yuan entities, was able to either directly access or deeply engage political situations going on inside Goryeo, and their intervention in the process of determining the Goryeo king had to have different implications than other impacts that would have been caused by the Yuan government's interventions. The Goryeo people knew that the threat upon Gongmin-wang's throne was representing the political interest of the Gi family, and we can see that from Gi Sambono, a family nephew of Queen Gi, named crown prince to Deokheung-gun, the 'new king of Goryeo'. Deokheung-gun was Yuan's supposed choice to replace Gongmin-wang, but it seems that the real choice was Gi Sambono. It should be noted that the Queen Gi faction was trying to enthrone a person not from 'Wang' family of the Goryeo dynasty. Political confusions inside the Yuan government surely inspired the Gi faction to mount such an attempt, yet at the same time, the perspective of the Mongol, which did not view the relationship between Wang family and the Goryeo royal family as 'in-separable', must have strongly encouraged the Gi family members to do so as well, They believed that a family other than Wang family could very well assume the status of the Goryeo royal family. The Goryeo vassals took sides between king Gongmin-wang and the Deokheung-gun/Gi Sambono party, based upon their own political in-terests. And it seems like they did not view the choices made by either themselves or members of the other side as choices made between 'just pursuit' and 'unjust pursuit'. They were basing their choices mostly upon geo-political elements, and their own judgements whether an unprecedented application of the Mongol order in Goryeo could succeed or not in the wakes of a changed Mongol-Goryeo relationship. In 1362, the presence of the crown prince Gi Sambono reflected the weakened status of not only king Gongmin-wang but also the entire Goryeo royal family, of which the royal status was reduced to yet another competing leadership, yet another family and a political faction, after a century of interactions with the Mongol empire. It was weakened enough to invite a blatant challenge from another family.
