In addition, he had taken a leading part in the warlike conquests of this king, acquiring thereby a high degree of pride and a boldness of speech rare among orientals. This line of behaviour was displeasing to the monarch, and he thought of a means of mortifying him somewhat. With this object he directed that this general's palanquin should be placed behind that of Asad Khan, the first minister of state. But having been warned of the affront to be shown him, Bahadur Khan refrained that day from attending the audience. All he did was to order some of his men to appear there, and should they try to place Asad Khan's palanquin in his place, they should offer opposition. His orders were only too well executed. For when it was attempted to put the other palanquin in the general's place, his soldiers resisted and raised a hot quarrel with the first minister's men. It proceeded to such lengths that blood was spilt \[118\]. In the end the king was forced to intervene with his authority before the fight ceased. - [Previous: 294.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.3.7) - [Next: 294.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.4.2) - [Up: 294.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.4.1) · Pramāṇa
