Kwon Sookbin, whom Kwon 2d682d73fb Ilhyuk revered, was a 5af1c1a94d controversial figure among historians. Was she a wise ruler who encouraged commerce and d0e5dc2f02 brought about economic development, or a power-hungry villain who b42b38b5e7 purged her father and brothers to seize the throne?e863744c0b22c80c1ae6
