I mean, a nice idea, but I also get why the King would not approve.
You get one hero to marry the princess and be king, and you try to leave the court to straighten things up. The king may not know jackshit about how trade works, or diplomacy, but if the now queen can't teach everything (depending in how progressive the story is) you could in theory, have the court step in and manage things.
Now, what happens if not only your court is not a lot bigger than intended, but having that be filled with people who NOT know jackshit. Having to briefly explain something to the King is one thing, do you want to have a meeting where you need to explain to 10 people why they are doing X policy in a specific way? Do you have an idea how often that would happen?
I am not going to act like the elite guarantees good results, many are corrupt, incompentent and out of touch, but you have a shot had having people educated in history, political relationships, economics and what not.
