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:
“When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong.”
—Eugene V. Debs (1855–1926)
“The condition that gives birth to a rule is not the same as the condition to which the rule gives birth.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The earliest instinct of the child, and the ripest experience of age, unite in affirming simplicity to be the truest and profoundest part for man. Likewise this simplicity is so universal and all-containing as a rule for human life, that the subtlest bad man, and the purest good man, as well as the profoundest wise man, do all alike present it on that side which they socially turn to the inquisitive and unscrupulous world.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
