But Zulficar-khan, the Generalissimo, who did not like this Prince, and was upon bad terms with Azim-ush-shan, repaired to the eldest son, Muezzeddin, and asked him whether he had any commands to lay upon him? "None at all," answered the Prince, "at least at present, for I have neither money nor troops, having added to the Imperial army whatever I could bring together, when I came to join my father. But I intend to retire into my Government of Multan, where I expect to collect forces as well as the means of appearing again upon the stage of the world, at which time I shall act as fortune shall point out." The Generalissimo disapproved of such a dilatory party, offered money, troops, and artillery out of his own private stores, and proposed to join immediately both Qhodjistah-aqhter and Refi-al-cadr, by which junction they would disperse Azim-ush-shan's party, after which it might be time for the three brothers to consult together about further measures. This proposal was not relished by Muezzeddin, who trusting but little to the Generalissimo's promises or power, desired him first of all to go and find his two brothers.
