On the day following the assassination Muhammad Shāh held a formal audience at which Muhammad Amīn Khān was appointed minister and promotion was freely showered on the conspirators. Muhammad Amīn Khān and the cowardly Khān Daurān were both promoted to the command of 8000 horse, a rank hitherto restricted to princes of the imperial family; the new minister’s son, Qamar-ud-dīn Khān, received the command of 7000, and Sa‘ādat Khān of 5000 horse.
