In 1886, Yi passed the literary exam of civil service exam, and was appointed as Daegyo of Gyujanggak. The same year, Imperial Resident of Seoul Yuan Shikai attempted to abdicate Gojong and make Yi the king. However, opposition of Li Hongzhang prevented Yuan from carrying out his plot.[1] After the assassination of Empress Myeongseong, Yi was paroled by the Japanese influence. Heungseon Daewongun advised him to refuge to Japan, but Yi stayed in Korea.[2]
Prince Yeongseon attempted to overthrow his uncle, but his plot was revealed before overthrowing the government.[3] He was imprisoned because of such attempts to overthrow the government, but he earned special amnesty from the Emperor. After being paroled, Yi traveled around Europe, and returned to Japan in January 1899. In June 1900, Yi was involved in the coup attempt of Ahn Gyeong-su.[4]
