title: Yangban Council Deliberation
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A Joseon-dynasty Korean practice of council deliberation among the
|
|
yangban (scholar-official) class, in which officials discussed policy
|
|
with reference to Confucian texts and precedent, seeking consensus that
|
|
balanced royal authority with ministerial judgment. Rooted in Korean
|
|
Confucian governance from the 14th to 19th centuries.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Convene the council
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Senior officials (yangban) convene, often at the king's request or on
|
|
a matter of state. The council deliberates in the presence of
|
|
Confucian texts and court records.
|
|
- headline: Cite precedent and text
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Each official grounds their position in Confucian classics and in
|
|
precedent from prior reigns. Argument proceeds by appeal to text and
|
|
history, not by personal preference alone.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate to consensus
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council deliberates toward a consensus that balances the king's
|
|
authority with the officials' collective judgment. Strong dissent
|
|
is recorded and weighed.
|
|
- headline: Memorialise the king
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council's consensus, with any dissent, is memorialised to the
|
|
king as a written memorial. The king may accept, modify, or reject,
|
|
but the memorial carries the council's weight.
|
|
- headline: Record for precedent
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The deliberation and outcome are recorded in the court annals, so
|
|
future councils may cite them as precedent.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Policy is deliberated by scholar-officials with reference to text and
|
|
precedent, producing a memorial that balances royal authority with
|
|
ministerial judgment.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The citation of text and precedent is the discipline — it binds
|
|
argument to shared sources. Without it, deliberation becomes assertion.
|
|
The record for precedent makes the council's work cumulative. |
