Excerpt from the first volume of the book:
From 1200 AH, when Agha Mohammad Khan made Tehran his capital and ascended the throne, until 1212 or 1211 AH, when he was killed in the city of Shushi in the Caucasus, it happened several times that he appointed a ruler to run the affairs of one of the provinces of Iran. And that ruler became a rebel, and those who rebelled against Agham Mohammad Khan only considered him as his eunuch, and were unaware of his genius and power, and thought that because they were an ordinary man and Agham Mohammad Khan Qajar a eunuch, they could Conquer him and seize the monarchy and become king himself. Among them, Agha Mohammad Khan’s brothers revolted against him and he blinded one brother and cut off the head of the other brother’s body.
The only person who was considered close and close to Agha Mohammad Khan and did not betray him was Khan Babakhan Jahanbani, his nephew (son of Jahansuz Shah, brother of Agham Mohammad Khan), who according to a tradition became viceroy in Tehran in 1200 AH and in 1204 AH He was elected Crown Prince Agham Mohammad Khan. Jahanbani, who later became the king of Iran in the name of Fath Ali Shah, never violated the order of Agham Mohammad Khan Qajar and never tried to betray him.
