He was desirous by some suitable means of removing the Sultan and placing one of the latter’s brothers upon the throne. On Monday, the 17th of the month of Safar, 639 H., at the residence of the Sadr-ul-Mulk, the Sayyid, Taj-ud-Din, ’Ali, Musawi, who was the Mushrif-i-Mamalik [Secretary of the Kingdom], Badr-ud-Din, Sunkar, convened a party of the Sadrs and chief men of the capital, such as the Kazi-i-Mamalik [Kazi of the Kingdom], Jalal-ud-Din, the Kasani, Kazi Kabir-ud-Din, Shaikh Muhammad-i-Shami [the Syrian], and other Amirs and important personages. When they had assembled, and deliberated respecting the change of government, they despatched the Sadr-ul-Mulk [Sadr of the State — Chief Sadr] to the presence of the Wazir, the Nizam-Ul-Mulk, Muhazzab-ud-Din, in order that he might be present [with them], and that, in accord with him, they might carry out their object effectively.
