However, there were times when we made mistakes and took detours.
So even if the family has separated, it's a good thing if the family members can avoid some detours. Governing Goryeo well is no easy task.
Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying and said, "Actually, years ago, Yi Seong-gye sent someone to request investiture. If you hadn't stopped us, we would have given them names. Joseon and Hwyeon, we've already thought of names for their countries."
Zhu Yunying was not surprised; he was aware of the situation.
Actually, the term 'North Korea' wasn't first proposed by Zhu De.
'Joseon' was originally the name of an ancient country in the East. In Chinese classics, King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed Jizi in the land of Joseon. This name was derived from 'bright morning sun'. During the Goguryeo period, the people of the peninsula liked to associate themselves with Joseon.
As for 'Ho Ning', it was Zhu Yuanzhang's way of showing goodwill to Yi Seong-gye and his son, and it is said to be Yi Seong-gye's birthplace.
Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Her Ning is definitely out of the question. Of all the names of the Eastern Barbarians, only Joseon is beautiful, and its origins are ancient, so we can take its name as our ancestor. So let's start with 'Ming Joseon'."
Ming Dynasty Joseon, Huangming Joseon, Daeming Joseon
This is the official name of the country in formal occasions, and this is the significance of the Ming Dynasty bestowing the name of the country!
Looking at Zhu Yunying, Zhu Yunying said, "We have decided on a name for Joseon. But that's not enough. Your Majesty, go back and think about it again. It is only right for Your Majesty to bestow a name upon us. Your Majesty conquered the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty's descendants should establish vassal states near China. That is how our Zhu family can truly prosper."
Old Zhu laughed heartily; his eldest son would naturally inherit the Ming dynasty. The other sons established vassal states near the Ming territory.
Looking through history books, who has achieved as much as the Zhu family!
