It is said, that walls have ears, and an account of this arrangement had, before this, come to the ears of Jalálu-d dín, so that he was not entrapped by the flattering speeches and attempts at deception which Haibat Khán used profusely, and therefore he would not consent to come. Haibat Khan reported his unsuccessful mission, and the King then sent divers other courtiers; these were also unsuccessful, as the Shahzada steadily refused to go with them. After this, the Sultan wrote farmans containing expressions of kindness and goodwill to all the nobles and jagirdars of the suba of Jaunpur, and promised them munificent rewards if they would forsake their allegiance to Jalal Khan, and refuse to treat him as their ruler. He sent secretly a confidential servant to certain of the nobles, bearing dresses of honour, horses, etc., and commanded them, on the receipt of this farman, to renounce allegiance to Jalal Khan. - [Previous: 3.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.1.2) - [Next: 3.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.1.4) - [Up: 3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.1.3) · Pramāṇa
