Chapter 566: Inspecting Ireland
To be honest, in the case of succession to the throne, Edward was still inclined to Charlie and never thought of changing the crown prince.
No matter how good the illegitimate son is, he chooses him, but he can only maintain the prosperity of the royal family for a while, and the conservative and traditional system will make the royal family mediocre and long-lasting.
Therefore, this primogeniture system is also the tacit and stubborn persistence of European countries, which is also recognized by Edward in his heart.
And illegitimate children, although they have no inheritance rights, still have great use in Edward's opinion.
Heirs without inheritance, especially illegitimate children, are also an auxiliary to kings and royal families in Europe.
In Edward's opinion, his son is much more loyal than those nobles and ministers, and Edward also knows his illegitimate son, and it is more convenient to use it in the future.
What's more, Europe is not China, and the son of a monarch, although he is an illegitimate child, still enjoys too few rights.
All sons, Edward treated equally, and Charlie and Henria were the same in his eyes.
After these illegitimate children, like the sons of the Spring and Autumn Period, they can stay in politics and assist the king.
You can also divide the fiefdom, go to the Americas and other places, divide an earldom, and then come to a tens of thousands of acres of land as a fief.
In Edward's vision, each colony in the Americas would have a son watching as an overseer.
In any case, it is to lead the officials and nobles of one or several colonies, and compared with the real official power, it is a civil leader.
In this way, one official, one civilian, double surveillance.
Moreover, as a king, Edward's distrust of Ireland was still unstable, including the newly occupied French region.
At this time, if the illegitimate son of a monarch sits in the town, leads and monitors the people, this is sometimes more powerful than the government.
In contrast to the modest manners of officials and nobles, Edward still trusted his son.
Even if there is any rebellion against independence, it is just meat rotting in the pot.
Therefore, early in the morning, Edward took his eldest son Henry, his second son Adam, his third son Charlie, and his eldest daughter Alice to get on the boat together.
"It's a terrible feeling!" Alice was not as lively as she used to be, but sickly, leaning on the sofa, and said weakly to the sea, the sorrow in her eyes was indescribable.
"My little darling, you were so happy just now!"
Edward held her cold little hand, looked at his daughter, and comforted:
"It's good to work for a while, just get some sleep!"
Seasickness is purely a physical factor, and there is no good way to deal with it, so you can only resist it.
Looking at his little angel's appearance, Edward was very distressed.
"Come on, come on, there's a big fish here!"
"Where? I want to see! ”
On the deck on the side, Henry and a few others looked elated, walking east and west from time to time, curious.
And Alice, who was in a normal situation, was already lying on the sofa, without a trace of desire to move.
After Alice fell asleep, Edward joined the fishing.
As a king, Edward also went to sea for the first time, two lifetimes, the first time he went to sea, boating, fishing, not to say too pleasant.
Seagulls chirp and waves float.
A slightly salty sea breeze swept across his face, and Edward held the rod and felt the shiver in it.
"Fish, it's definitely a big fish!" Edward shouted excitedly, and the whole person took on a different kind of drunken red.
The pleasant days did not last long, and within a week His Majesty was already disgusted, and a month's voyage had left him feeling a little lonely.
Perhaps there was no place for entertainment, but His Majesty the King directly invented poker as a business pastime.
Especially with the King of hearts, Charlemagne of the Frankish kingdom has always been Edward's target, and the king who rules a huge territory is still quite good.
The origin of playing cards is not entirely certain, but it is believed to have evolved from French tarot cards.
It is likely that early playing cards were introduced to Europe from Egypt in the late 14th century.
In the 15th century, it was common to think of the king as the highest card and the ace as the lowest.
Today's approach of treating 2 as the largest and A as the smallest probably began after the French Revolution in the late 18th century.
THE BIG AND SMALL "JOKER" WAS AN AMERICAN INVENTION AND THEN CAME BACK TO EUROPE ALONG WITH POKER.
Therefore, His Majesty the King at this moment can be regarded as standing on the shoulders of his predecessors and summing up.
A month later, the marina in Dublin.
As the new governor, John Murphy was the new governor. Perrott's young youth has allowed him to have a long local track record that has allowed him to make connections throughout Ireland.
Therefore, the nobles and officials of Ireland all showed respect to His Excellency the Governor, who was rumored to be the illegitimate son of Henry VIII.
On this day, five armed merchant ships were quietly moored at a dock in Dublin, without the slightest ripple.
As Governor-General, John. Perrot merely invited some nobles and dignitaries of the Doge's Palace to welcome His Majesty the King.
Edward, who had just disembarked from the ship, took a few children with him, looked at the welcoming crowd of more than a dozen people, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Welcome, co-lord of Scotland, England, Ireland, France, His Majesty the King!"
"Welcome, Your Royal Highness The Prince of Wales!"
When the king and the crown prince had finished speaking, everyone looked at the other little ones, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"I'm here today without permission, so be it!"
Edward beckoned, breaking the embarrassment.
Subsequently, surrounded by everyone, I came to the royal palace that has been built, a royal palace full of Irish characteristics, in a grassland, with birds singing and flowers, abundant water and grass, and a little sheep, a good grassland courtyard.
Since the establishment of the United Kingdom, Edward has ordered the palace to build palace annexes in all four major regions as temporary resting places for the king, and the annual funding for this manuscript fee is not less than nearly 10,000 pounds.
Looking at this grassland characteristic palace, Edward nodded, very satisfied.
The little ones immediately jumped to the flock, which was the first time they had seen such a flock of thousands of sheep, and they were very excited.
"John, how's it going? What are your thoughts on Ireland? ”
The king took the governor with him, and while enjoying the scenery, he chatted.
"Your Majesty, Ireland is indeed vast and rich in resources, but at present, Ireland's tax problems are very prominent."
ps: I'm sorry, I broke my promise, go back to school and party with friends.
Two chapters tomorrow, code words on the train!
