33.5.2
This promotion, however, was looked upon as an affront to themselves, by all the Grandees of the Empire, and especially by the Vezir, who resolved to rid himself of the umbrage which Djavid-qhan gave him perpetually. This eunuch, who trusted so much to his influence, that he rubbed his forehead against the third heaven, had the imprudence to accept of an entertainment at the Vezir's palace, where Aaly-beg-qhan, the head Nassiqh-chi, alias Shitab-djung, ripped open his belly with a stroke of a poniard, and killed him instantly. This execution which had taken place by the Vezir's order, exasperated the Emperor and his mother, and, in order to ruin such an overbearing Minister, they resolved to join Intyzam-ed-dowlah and all his other enemies.
