Prince Deokheung (Korean: 덕흥군; Hanja: 德興君), personal name Wang Hye (왕혜; 王譓) was the third son of Chungseon of Goryeo who became a Mongolian-backed pretender to the throne of Goryeo.[2] After the ascension of King Gongmin, his half-nephew, to the throne of Goryeo, Prince Deokheung left Goryeo and settled in the Yuan capital of Dadu.[3] Since then, he was also known by his Mongolian name, Tash Temür (塔思帖木兒) which spelled as Tapsacheopmoka (탑사첩목아) in Sino-Korean.[4] At one point in his life, he was a Buddhist monk but he later returned to a secular life.[5]
Yuan, under the influence of Empress Gi and her brother, Ki Ch'ŏl, attempted to dethrone Goryeo's king, Gongmin.[6] Immediately after Gongmin executed Ki Ch'ŏl, the leader of the pro-Yuan Faction (친원파), his sister then deposed Gongmin and declared Wang Hye as the new King, with her nephew, Ki Sambono as the Crown Prince.[7] In 1364, Wang led a force of 10,000 Yuan soldiers under the command of General Ch'oe Yu (최유; 崔濡) and attempted to invade Goryeo,[8] but he failed in his objective to dethrone King Gongmin.[9] After crossing Yalu River, his army was defeated by Goryeo forces led by Ch'oe Yŏng and Yi Sŏng-gye and Prince Deokheung was forced to retreat back to the Yuan Dynasty. Knowing this, the Yuan Emperor struck him with 107 Gonjang (곤장 107대) and then expelled them.
