[3] In 579 CE, Baekje captured three Silla forts, including Naeriseo Fortress, and destroyed several major routes.
[4] In 578 CE, Jinji sent an envoy to the Chen in southern China to maintain their diplomatic relationship.
[3] However, according to the Samguk yusa: During his reign, the court was in conflict and the officials and ministers were greatly divided.
And the non-stop attacks by the Baekje forces caused a great loss for Silla, but the king ignored them and continued with his lavish lifestyle and did nothing but drink and feast with different women.
According to Hwarang Segi: It is said that he was dethroned by his mother, Queen Sado, for refusing to marry her sister(in some accounts, niece) Mishil.
He made a promise to marry her and make her his Queen once he became a king but had a change of heart as soon as he took over the throne.
They spread a rumor that the heavens had forsaken Silla for having an immoral king, thus resulted in them losing their lands against the Baekje.
[4] Hwarang Segi says that; King Jinji fell in love with a peasant girl and brought her to the palace to make her one of his concubines.
Ten days after the husband's death, King Jinji's ghost went on to visit the woman at her house, reminding her that she said that she would accept him if she wasn't married.
The parents of the deceased husband gave her permission, out of fear that their son might suffer in the afterlife if they disobeyed the king.
As it turns out, Bihyeong was actually meeting with his ghost friends every night on the hills of the Hwangcheon River west of the city.
