v1.c6.s10.11

The Wazir, Taqarrub Khan (Hakim Muhammad Muhsin), now joined forces with the Prince's eunuchs and one Sayyid Ahmad for the purpose of ruining Ahsan Khan. Sayyid Ahmad was originally a protege of Ahsan Khan's, but now for some reason or other had turned against him. Ahsan Khan, puffed up with a belief in his fortunate star, and relying with the rashness of youth upon the great services that he had done for his master, took no steps to counteract the machinations of his enemies. Often, with a view to consultation on public business, Ahsan Khan, Saif Khan (who had taught archery to Kam Bakhsh), Arshad Khan, Nasir Khan and Ahmad Khan, met and talked with Rustam Dil Khan in private. These meetings were used by Taqarrub Khan, Ihtida Khan and the other men envious of Ahsan Khan, as a means of accusation and they easily succeeded in arousing the suspicions of Kam Bakhsh.
