3.3

Ya'kub Khan, son of that Haidar Khan who assassinated the Amini-l umara Husain 'Ali Khan, went to the darbar one day, and after making his obeisance and sitting a short time, he rose quickly and asked leave to go home. Intizamu-d daula was surprised, and said, "I am going to-day to pay a visit to the wazir, but what reason is that for your asking to go away?" He replied, "There are some thousands of men armed with swords and daggers waiting there for your honour; and as soon as ever you sit down, you will be served in the same way as the Nawab Bahadur was. Beware, and do not go there until affairs of State are settled." The caution was not lost upon Intizamu-d daula, and he sent an excuse to the wazir. Communications about this went on for two or three days, * * and 'Imadu-l Mulk was also sent to re-assure and conciliate Intizamu-d daula. * *
