Lee Seon's library was destroyed under the accusation of treason and he himself suffered oppression from the Noron party. Yeongjo agonized when his ministries pressured him that he should punish Lee Seon by law. He finally decided to persuade Lee Seon to step down from Crown Prince by himself.

Yeongjo ordered Lee Seon , "Step down yourself. Announce the dethronement and leave the capital".

Lee Seon responded, "I cannot do it. I do not know what I am guilty of. They hurt innocent people and they accuse the innocent of treason falsely. I am going to fight with them until the end"., which angered Yeongjo.

Na Cheol-joo made a final decision to dethrone Yeongjo, while Lee Seon tried to prove he is innocent.
