He was the most trusted tactician of Grand Prince Suyang during the 1453 coup and the subsequent events that resulted into Suyang becoming King Sejo. He was listed as a first rank meritorious subject in 1453 (정난공신; 靖難功臣)[1] and in 1455 (좌익공신; 佐翼功臣).[2]
In 1460, his third daughter, Han Naeng-yi, married Crown Prince Haeyang (the future King Yejong).
Between 1466 to 1467, Han Myeong-hoe became the Chief State Councillor of Joseon, and his youngest daughter, Han Song-yi, married Prince Jalsan (the future King Seongjong).
In 1468, Crown Prince Haeyang became Yejong, the 8th King of the Joseon Dynasty, and Han Myeong-hoe's daughter, Han Naeng-yi, was posthumously honoured Queen Jangsun and her father was reappointed Chief State Councillor.
In 1469, when Yejong died, Han Myeong-hoe was instrumental in the decision to recuse both Yejong's son as too young and Jalsan's older brother as too weak. As a result, Jalsan was chosen to become King Seongjong, the 9th King of the Joseon Dynasty, with Han Song-yi as Queen Consort (posthumously known as Queen Gonghye).
