He did not act thus, however, with the wazir, Ja'far Khan. All he did was to direct one of his officers to collect together the money for the appointments granted, with instructions to render an account daily of what had been received, if the total were twenty-five thousand rupees or more; if less, no account need be sent in. Thereupon it happened one day that a certain Fida,e Khan had returned from Ilavas (Allahabad) to court. He was no friend of Ja'far Khan, so one day when presenting to the king an officer seeking employment, he said: 'This trifle has been worth twelve thousand rupees to Ja'far Khan.' The king resented so public a reproach; nevertheless he dissembled, and soon after sent Fida,e Khan to Lahor as governor.
