Elias Khan, with six thousand men, soon arrived before Belgam; and as Ismael had not yet been joined by his adherents, he shut himself up in the fort, which was closely besieged by the royalists. Ein-ool-Moolk, also, agreeably to the King's orders, joined the besiegers, in order to preserve appearances; but being secretly attached to the Prince, he kept up constant correspondence with the besieged, and supplied them at night from his camp with grain and other necessaries. Intelligence of this treacherous conduct reaching the King, he, in order to try the fidelity of Ein-ool-Moolk, despatched an order summoning him to court, on pretence that he wished to have his advice on some affairs of importance, which could not be communicated to any other than himself. Ein-ool-Moolk, for fear of exciting suspicion, set out, with many of his friends, to Beejapoor, where he acted with so much art, as left the King in doubt of the accusations against him; and Ibrahim Adil Shah, unwilling to destroy an old servant on bare suspicion, hoped, that should it have any foundation in reality, the favours he received at his hands would sink so deeply in his mind, as to make him lay aside any treacherous designs he might have formed. - [Previous: 93.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.6.2) - [Next: 93.6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.6.4) - [Up: 93.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.6.3) · Pramāṇa
