Chapter 459 Noble Academy

ps: ask for tickets, ask for subscription

The education of members of the royal family has always been Edward's concern, and he is thinking about it in his heart.

Royal education is the most important thing for a country with absolute monarchy.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty in history, you can find that the powerful emperor is directly proportional to the level of education received.

Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty did not receive education since he was a child, so his level of governing the country was undeniably low; while Chongzhen, who was educated by the prince, was not very good, but managed the country for seventeen years anyway; It brought about the economic prosperity of the late Ming Dynasty and took control of the government.

So, the Qing Dynasty learned the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, and paid special attention to the education of princes. Although most of the emperors were mediocre, they were normal anyway, and they could govern normally, and it dragged on for three hundred years.

All in all, in the next few hundred years, the education of the royal family will be the basis for the existence and strength of the royal family.

In this regard, Edward already has a claim. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"In the future, the members of the royal family who are born, whether they are men or women, as well as the noble children of the United Kingdom, will all enter this school to study. I named it Windsor College and it is set up near Windsor Castle!"

The young king's self-confidence surprised Luna and the others, and immediately, a burst of joy surged in his heart.

If Adam and the others enter the study together with the real prince Charlie, it will represent the recognition of their identity, and they will act as members of the royal family.

"Then, my lord, do you have anything to disclose about the specific situation?"

Luna came to Edward's back very intimately, gently pressed his shoulders, let him sit down, and then slowly put the king on her plump and huge body.

The slightly calloused hand was carefully and forcefully turned on the temple of His Majesty the King.

And Lucy and Emma also put the young king's arms into their plumpness very wittily.

Especially, it's summer, and they are wearing high-quality silk.

Edward felt that he was surrounded by a cloud. He hadn't tasted this kind of taste for a long time, and he wanted to try it this time.

Thinking of it, Edward directly hugged Lucy who was the lightest.

"Ah ~ Your Majesty!" Lucy burst into surprise, glanced at Luna and Emma who were equally astonished, and shyly buried her head on the king's chest.

After rubbing his buttocks and feeling a different kind of touch, he strode forward.

After walking a few steps, he seemed to think of something, turned around and said suddenly:

"Luna, Emma, ??old couples, come together! It's time for the royal family to add some new members!"

Immediately, the expressions of surprise on the faces of the three of Lucy grew stronger, and Qiqi took a sip.

Edward couldn't control that much, and carried Lucy directly into the cool and dry room dedicated to summer.

At the door, the two maids were about to close the evil door, but were stopped by His Majesty the King. Finally, he showed a teasing smile to the two hesitant people outside the door.

And Luna and Emma looked at each other, and then looked at the room in front of the screaming sound. They covered their faces shyly, pretending to be nonchalant, and took small steps, and quickly entered the room middle.

...

What they said was done. On the second day, a manor in Windsor Castle was immediately remodeled. Within a week, a full-time semi-military school named Windsor College was established.

The first batch of students enrolled was His Royal Highness Charles Tudor, Prince of Wales who was only five years old, the heir of the United Kingdom.

And, his half-brothers, seven-year-old Henry Tudor and Adam Tudor, and John Tudor and George Tudor at the same age. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Of course, more importantly, their sisters, seven-year-old Alice Tudor, and five-year-old Isabella Tudor.

As a result, this has aroused strong repercussions among the nobles. The son of the Duke of Norfolk, the son of the Earl of Argyle, the grandson of the Earl of Arlen, and even the noble children of the right age, are rushing to enter this academy.

In this regard, Edward also thinks it is a good opportunity. After all, these noble children will be regarded as members of the ruling class in the future, and it is good to get in touch with them early.

Therefore, His Majesty the King stipulated that only noble children who are barons and above, and who are between seven and ten years old, can enter. Among them, cabinet members also have a recommendation quota, which is the privilege of being a cabinet boss.

Even so, there are more than one hundred noble children of the right age.

This can also be regarded as a base for cultivating nobles!

In order to make these future ruling classes better, His Majesty the King invited Oxford University and Cambridge University, as well as some academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences, to teach them.

Mathematics, Latin, English, astronomy, geography, history, horseback riding, archery, etiquette, painting, debate, and the basics of heraldry that nobles must learn.

In this era, every noble has its own coat of arms, which has become a symbol of nobility.

Even if you don't know each other, the coat of arms becomes the best intermediary for getting to know each other. Every nobleman must memorize at least a hundred coats of arms in his lifetime, so that he can be regarded as a real nobleman.

Twelve courses are enough to make them want to die and apply what they have learned.

Aristocrats, although the importance of blood still dominates, the importance of talent is becoming more and more prominent, especially when civilians pass the exam to enter the officialdom and compete with them for power.

The competition between nobles and civilians has become more intense.

The two factions fight, but the king wins in the end.

Of course, the biggest breakthrough of Windsor College is that it accommodates women.

Although men and women are taught separately, it is a major breakthrough.

That is to say, in this era, in addition to the monastery, the way for female nobles to receive education has added a Windsor College.

The move to separate schools for men and women has aroused great repercussions among the nobles.

Among the nobles, there are both opponents and supporters, but the opposition is invalid, and the king's order cannot be questioned.
