The Akbarī Generations 1.9.1

1.9.1

Karracha Khan, and some other nobles who had rendered good service in these days, now recommended some impossible steps to Humayun. One was the execution of Khwaja Ghazi, the wazir, and the appointment of Khwaja Kasim to succeed him. This proposition fell heavily on the heart of His Majesty, and he would not accede to their wishes. The noblemen then conspired together, and, mounting their horses at breakfast-time, they drove off the royal flocks (galah), which were in Khwaja Riwaj, and went towards Badakhshan. After break of day and the assembling of the army, His Majesty mounted his horse, and went off in pursuit. The conspirators, by a forced march, reached Ghorband, and crossing the bridge they destroyed it behind them. The advanced guard of His Majesty came up with a party of them and inflicted chastisement. At night Humayun returned to Kabul, to make preparations for a march into Badakhshan. The conspirators went on to Kamran, leaving Tamar 'Ali in Panjshir, to collect and forward intelligence of Humayun's movements. His Majesty, having determined to go to Badakhshan, sent farmans to Mirza Sulaiman, Mirza Ibrahim, and Mirza Hindal. Mirza Ibrahim advanced by way of the fort of Paridu into Panjshir, and getting knowledge of Tamar 'Ali Shaghali, he went after him and killed him. He waited upon the Emperor in the Karabagh at Kabul.
