After the military coup of 1170, Goryeo confronted political changes like the emergence of military rulers, the functional extension of the council of generals, and military officials’ concurrent holding of civil offices. At the same time, military officials committed illegalities, such as infringing on royal authority and expropriating lands.

However, Gyeong Dae-Seung returned the lands dispossessed by his father, Gyeong Jin to Seongun , and removed Jeong Gyun who attempted to marry a princess and and his father Jeong Jung-Bu who incited the murder of King Uijong. After seizing power in 1179, he opposed the appointment of a military official as Seungseon and tried to eliminate Lee Ui-Min, who had murdered King Uijong. He even removed Heo Seung and Kim Gwang-Lip, who were actively involved in his coup, when they behaved arrogantly while serving the crown prince in 1180.

At last his consistent behaviors gained the trust of King Myeongjong and military officials. King Myeongjong favored and supported him, which enabled him to suppress the illegalities of military officials effectively. In turn, the king became more free to make a political decision. As Gyeong Dae-Seung did not deny the political changes, the military officials were able to participate in state affairs through the council of generals or civil offices as long as they did not commit illegal activities. After all, Gyeong Dae-Seung contributed to the stabilization of the military government by suppressing the illegalities of military officials.
