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:
“If all political power be derived only from Adam, and be to descend only to his successive heirs, by the ordinance of God and divine institution, this is a right antecedent and paramount to all government; and therefore the positive laws of men cannot determine that, which is itself the foundation of all law and government, and is to receive its rule only from the law of God and nature.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him,—not even to consent to it; but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“A right rule for a club would be,—Admit no man whose presence excludes any one topic.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
