Suleiman and Ibrahim were connected not only with the affairs of the state. The Sultan treated his slave as a friend, a brother, and entrusted him not only with the affairs of government, but also with matters of the heart. To recall at least when Suleiman decided on niches with Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, even the mistress herself did not know about this, and Ibrahim was aware of all matters.
Such trust of the sovereign flattered Ibrahim, and after he received a new post of Grand Vizier and signed the order that no one has the right to execute him, even the sultan himself, Ibrahim took pride in putting himself on the same level with sultan.
Ibrahim increasingly spoke about his greatness in negotiations with the French ambassador, and more than once called himself the Sultan Commander-in-Chief.
Ibrahim had many ill-wishers who reported to the sovereign about Pargala's statements, only Suleiman forgave his friend every time, advising him to fight his vanity and pride.
Ibrahim loved and respected the sovereign, but he loved power and money more.
Ibrahim finally undermined the confidence of the Sultan, saying that he was going on state affairs, and he himself went to Manisa to talk with Mustafa. Of course, this was not without Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska. It was she who told Suleiman where the grand vizier really was now, and suggested that they were preparing a conspiracy against the sovereign.
Suleiman was tormented by doubts for a long time, but when he came across the protocol of negotiations at the suggestion of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska with the French ambassadors, which Ibrahim spent, Suleiman had no doubts - his friend became his enemy.
At a meeting with the ambassadors, Ibrahim called the ruler a lion, and himself a tamer, noting that without his approval, the sovereign did not issue a single decree. And it is he - the tamer, with his gesture brings up the lion - the sovereign.
After reading the protocol, Suleiman understood the true face of his former friend, and decided to execute him. But the sultan did not know how to do it correctly, so he went to Qadi Efendi for advice.
