King Dongmyeong of Goguryeo - Rule

Rule

In 37 BC, Ju-Mong established Goguryeo, and became its first king. During that same year, King Song Yang (송양, 松讓) of Piryu surrendered to him after receiving assistance in defeating the Malgal tribe's invasion. In 34 BC, along with the palace, Goguryeo's first capital city Jolbon, was completed. Four years later, in 28 BC, Ju-Mong sent General Pu Wi Yeom (부위염, 扶尉厭) to conquer the Northern Ok-Jeo. During that same year, Ju-Mong's mother, Lady Yuhwa, died in the palace of Tong Puyeo, and was given the burial ceremony of a Royal Queen even though she was only a concubine and not a Royal Wife.

Ju-Mong sent a messenger and numerous gifts to King Geumwa in gratitude for King Geumwa's generosity. In 19 BC, Ju-Mong's first wife Lady Ye, fled Tong Pu-Yeo with their son Yuri and settled in Goguryeo. Ye became the queen, causing tension as Ju-Mong's second wife; So Seo-no, feared for her sons' positions in Goguryeo. So Seo-no left Goguryeo with her two sons and some of her subordinates and headed further south into the Korean peninsula, into what is now South Korea. There she established Paek-Je. Ju-Mong elected his first son Yuri as the Crown Prince and successor to the throne.

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the same person. And as a rule the most recent exhibit remains for some time the only one to be seen.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    Until, accustomed to disappointments, you can let yourself rule and be ruled by these strings or emanations that connect everything together, you haven’t fully exorcised the demon of doubt that sets you in motion like a rocking horse that cannot stop rocking.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Therefore doth heaven divide
    The state of man in divers functions,
    Setting endeavor in continual motion,
    To which is fixed, as an aim or butt,
    Obedience; for so work the honeybees,
    Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
    The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
