Gabo Reform
December 17, 1894, Japan deposed Heungseon Daewongun and broke up the "Gunguk Gimucheo". Park Young-hyo, who was in exile, returned to form a cabinet with Kim and introduced the Exemplary Rules in Fourteen Articles (홍범 14조) which had the effect of modernising Joseon's government, territorial administration, tax, education and other affairs. (See Gabo Reform § Second reforms). However, Kim resigned from the cabinet a short time later because of feuds with Park.
