Nizām-ul-Mulk marched, after his victory, to Hyderābād, which he reached on 16 January, 1725, and which he now made his capital. The wretched emperor was constrained to conciliate him and to humiliate himself by rewarding him, in June, with the title of Āsaf Jāh. However, the court faction strove to diminish his influence by removing officers whom he had appointed and by preparing to deprive him of the government of Gujarāt.
