Khan-khanan, on receiving the Emperor's message, sent Khwaja Aminu-d din Mahmud Haji Muhammad Sistani and Tarsun Beg, who held important offices, to Dehli, to wait upon His Majesty, with this statement: "The devotion and loyalty of your servant would never allow him to do anything to any servant of the State against His Majesty's wishes; for nought but kindness and favour is due to all those who faithfully discharge their duties." The royal ears had been filled with injurious stories and statements against Khan-khanan, so the Khan's message did not receive His Majesty's approval, and the messengers were sent back. When the report of His Majesty's displeasure with Khan-khanan became public, all men turned their backs upon him, and their faces towards the Emperor. Among the first who were admitted to royal favour was Kiya Khan Gang. Shahabu-d din Ahmad Khan, with the assistance of Maham Anka, inspired every one who came to Court with the hope of receiving dignities and jagirs suitable to their condition. - [Previous: 9.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9.2) - [Next: 9.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9.4) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9.3) · Pramāṇa
