After which Yoosoof Adil Khan took up his residence at his own house in the city, with a guard of a thousand chosen men for his protection, giving orders to Duria Khan and his other friends to return to camp, and to be on the alert. Nizam-ool-Moolk the next day visited Yoosoof Adil Khan, and after many professions of regard, proposed that he and all the foreign officers should reside in the city, in order that they might attend with him at court, and assist in the management of public affairs. Yoosoof Adil Khan replied, that his kind intentions were fully appreciated, and were consistent with his own feelings towards him, but that as for his daily attendance at court, there could be no occasion for it, as he and his friends were mere soldiers, and did not profess to understand the machinery of government, which they were willing, he said, to see Nizam-ool-Moolk conduct uncontrolled, agreeably to the will of their late sovereign, leaving in their hands the execution of the King's military orders. Yoosoof Adil Khan observed, that his friends had better remain encamped without the city, as they were boisterous, and quarrels might ensue in the town between them and the Abyssinians and Deccanies. - [Previous: 79.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.1.4) - [Next: 79.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.1.6) - [Up: 79.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.1.5) · Pramāṇa
