They proposed to raise Prince Fath Khan, the son of Sultán Bahlol, to the throne, and mutually swore to effect this. The aforesaid Prince related the circumstance to Shaikh Taha and to his own mother, and made known the names of the conspirators. Shaikh Tahá and the Prince's mother, by means of good advice, dissuaded the Prince from engaging himself in the plot; and it was agreed that he should take the list of names to the King, and thus cleanse his skirt from the accusation of rebellion. He did so, and gave Sultán Sikandar information of the evil intentions of those people. The King, with the aid of his ministers, ferreted them out, exiled them to different parts of his dominions, and thus put an end to their seditious designs. - [Previous: 5.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2.6) - [Next: 5.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2.8) - [Up: 5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2.7) · Pramāṇa
