[1] In the midst of planning for the assault on Liaodong in Ming territory, King U left the palace with Royal Consort Yeong and her father to go hunting in Seohae-do.
[1][2] A few months later, Royal Consort Yeong accompanied the king to visit Pubyok Pavilion, where he tried to kill a coachman, first with a bow and arrow and then by fighting him.
He defeated Ch'oe Yŏng's forces at Palgakjeon (팔각전), where the king was hiding with Royal Consort Yeong.
The soldiers surrounded the building, and Ch'oe Yŏng went out to them after the king had held his hand and wept.
The king was persuaded to exit and go to Ganghwa Island, leaving Royal Consort Yeong with Princess Myeongsun.
