The “front road of the Gwanghwamun Gate(光化門前路)” refers to the road that begins with the Gwanghwamun Gate, which was the main gate of the Gyeongbokgung Palace, and ends with the Unjongga(雲從街) street in the south. On the east and west sides of the road, stood important offices of the Joseon government, which included the Euijeongbu(議政府) office, the Six ministries(六曹), the Hanseongbu(漢城府) capital authorities and the Saheonbu(司憲府) monitoring office. These offices were officially des-ignated as ‘offices outside the palace(闕外各司)’, but they were closely connected with the other in-palace offices(闕內各司), which were in charge of serving and guarding the king. The front road of the Gwanghwamun gate was a road that led to the inside of the Gyeong-bokgung Palace, and where the king could meet his subjects. In the early days of king Gojong’s reign, there were some significant changes made to this front road of the Gwanghwamun Gate. Since the breakout and conclusion of the war with the Japanese in the 1590’s, the offices positioned along this road had been maintain-ing their outward appearance and basic functions, but the war left all these offices with many internal problems. So, in the early days of king Gojong’s reign, renovation projects for these offices went underway. First, the Euijeongbu office, which previously had no resource to repair some of its destroyed structures despite the fact that it was standing right in front of the Gwanghwamun Gate, went through a complete overhaul. Second, the Gyeongbokgung Palace was reconstructed, under the supervision of Gojong’s father Re-gent Heungseon Daeweongun(興宣大院君), who used this project as a method to enlarge his influences. Third, the Three Military Headquarters(三軍府) were newly established at the late Yejo(Ministry of Rituals 禮曹) site. The Headquarters were not yet fully devel oped in institutional terms, but was established nonetheless as a military counterpart to the civil Euijeongbu office. The project continued for many years, but did so in a most concentrated fashion be-tween the second and fifth years of Gojong’s reign. Dowager queen Shinjeong(神貞), who was overseeing the governance of the country in the early years of Gojong’s reign, led the project, and high ranking officials supported it, but in the end, the real driving force behind the project, who set the agenda and pushed it through, was Gojong’s father Heung-seon Daeweongun. At the time, various law codes such as 󰡔Daejeon Hoitong(大典會通)󰡕 and 󰡔Yukjeon Jorye(六典條例)󰡕 were revised, and the overall operations of the government were en hanced as well. The Bibyeonsa(備邊司) office was absorbed into the Gongsasaek(公事色) office inside Euijeongbu, and an enlarged[合設] Euijeongbu body, the highest office inside the Joseon government in ultimate charge of governance, was established. And the reconstructed Gyeongbokgung Palace also led to the revitalization of other offices located outside the palace (and in front of the Gwanghwamun Gate), in an impressive display that showed how things were being changed and enhanced in the early days of king Gojong’s reign.
