Ŭl P'aso
Ŭl P'aso (; died 203) was the ''kuksang'' (Prime Minister) of Goguryeo under its 9th ruler King Gogukcheon. Ŭl P'aso was a native of Chwa-mul village () near the West Amnok River Valley. He was the descendant of Ŭl So (), a government minister under King Yuri (r.19 BC - AD 18), but by the time of King Gogukcheon he belonged to a farming family, probably in the sense of managing an estate rather than himself guiding the plough, since he was literate and had enough connections to have a "reputation" for wisdom. During the twelfth year of reign of King Gogukcheon (190), powerful aristocrats from the tribe of Yŏnna (), who were relatives of the queen, seized land from the commoners. When the king attempted to punish them, they rose up in rebellion but were crushed by the royal army. The king asked the four tribes to select a man of wisdom to serve him. King Gogukcheon's sudden shift from an aristocratic to meritocratic style of government resulted in the discovering of many tal ...

And it is believed in the Korean history academia that King Gogukcheon was not the second son of King Sindae, but the first so ...
