(Gimyo massacre of scholars) After Jo Gwangjo challenged the king's Merit Subject awards, enraged Merit Subjects convinced King Jungjong to move against "Jo Gwangjo's clique. " The resulting purge pitted the cautious conservatism of older, experienced politicians against young, impetuous Neo-Confucian literati whose actions and influence were seen as a grave threat to Joseon society and the foundations of the dynasty. There are criticism in that his ambition was too ideal. His words made Jungjong abolish Sogyeokseo which was based on Taoism of Korea for taking ceremonies. The reason was to practice real world of confucianism in Joseon. Additionally, he tried to get rid of high wages of other subjects, especially who helped Jungjong to take the throne. It is believed that had an effect on others' antipathy to Jo.
