An extraordinary plot was now formed, with which the author of this book became acquainted. 'Imadu-d din Khan with a number of Turks of low degree, and inimical to Ulugh Khan, resolved upon cutting down Ban Khan Aibak Khitai at the entrance of the royal tent, in order that Ulugh Khan, on hearing of the assassination, might (in retaliation) slay 'Izzu-d din Balban. The peace would thus be prevented, 'Imadu-d din would retain his position in safety, and Ulugh Khan would be unable to come to Court. Kutbu-d din Hasan heard of the conspiracy, and sent one of the chief attendants of the chamberlain, Sharfu-l mulk Rashidu-d din Hanafi, to Ban Khan, advising him not to go to the royal tent in the morning, but to remain at his own lodging. Ban Khan acted on this advice, and so the plot failed. The facts became known to the great men, and under the command of the Sultan, 'Imadu-d din was sent off to Badaun. - [Previous: 57.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.19) - [Next: 57.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.21) - [Up: 57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.20) · Pramāṇa
