Yi Chehyŏn
李齊賢 (1287 JL-1367 JL)
Description
Yi Chehyŏn was a scholar-official of late Koryŏ. He served as Chief Minister of Three Offices (p’ansam sasa 判三司事) and Chief State Councilor (chŏngsŭng 政丞) under multiple kings. He played a key role in Koryŏ-Yuan diplomacy. Yi spent six years (1314–1320) in the Yuan capital Yanjing to assist King Ch’ungsŏn 忠宣王 (1275–1325) at his studio, the Hall of Ten Thousand Books (Man’gwŏndang), and interacted with leading Chinese scholars of the time, such as Yao Sui 姚燧 (1238–1313) and Zhao Mengfu 趙孟頫 (1254–1322). Later, Yi supported King Kongmin 恭愍王 (1330–1374) in executing political and social reforms.
