It seems Confucian scholars really hated Choe Chung-heon

‌If you look at the Goryeosa (History of Goryeo) or Goryeosa Jeolyo (Essentials of Goryeo History) written by Confucian scholars of the Joseon Dynasty,
during the wars with the Khitan,
they wrote very negatively about how Choe Chung-heon was jealous of and mistreated the war hero Jo Chung.
They claimed he only looked after his own private military forces
and provided no support whatsoever to Jo Chung.
Besides that, there are many instances where they wrote about him as if he were an emotional villain.
However, I learned a fact recently while watching history YouTube channels by professors;
it turns out that Jo Chung, the war hero against the Khitan,
was actually so close to him that he even wrote the epitaph for Choe Chung-heon.
In fact, a text written by Jo Chung himself remains in that epitaph,
where he praised him by saying things like, "Choe Chung-heon cherished and favored me specially, and thanks to him, I rose to success."
Since it is a record from the person involved, it is likely much more accurate.
Even looking at the family trees, the two were in-laws...
There is so much interesting stuff when you try cross-verifying information.
Anyway, it seems the Confucian scholars emotionally detested Choe Chung-heon.
