According to the TV series “The Magnificent Century,” Jihangir was devoted to his elder brother Mustafa and considered him a worthy heir to the Ottoman Empire.
Learning that Mustafa had betrayed his father, asking for support from Shah Tahmasp in the event of a coup, Jihangir tried to reason with the sovereign, explaining that his brother had been set up.
But lately, there have been too many setups: first, the overlord learns about the secret council in support for Mustafa, then the janissaries praised Mustafa as the future sultan, now a letter from his worst enemy.
Suleiman, deciding that Mustafa was a traitor, summoned him to a military camp. Jihangir, feeling that something was wrong, asks for a hike with his father, telling everyone that, if necessary, he will cover his brother with his body. Although, honestly, it's very interesting how he was going to do it.
Mustafa's close people understood that Mustafa would not return alive from this trip. But Mustafa was sure of his father's honesty - after all, he gave his word that he would never harm him.
By order of the sovereign, Mustafa had to set up his camp, not far from the sovereign's camp, and in the morning he would appear in the tent to his father.
Jihangir, makes another attempt to justify his brother in the eyes of the sovereign.
The sultan, in order to calm his younger and vulnerable shehzadeh, says that he will not execute his own son.
Mustafa, who hoped that his father would listen to him, nevertheless admitted the thought that he might not leave the tent alive. Fear was added by a note that had flown in, which said that death awaited the Shehzade in the camp of the sovereign.
But, Jihangir secretly comes to Mustafa, and calms his brother, saying that the sovereign cannot take the life of his own son. Therefore, he can go to talk with the master without fear.
Of course, Mustafa would still go to his father, even if he knew for sure that he would not get out of there. But, after the words of Jihangir, he entered the tent without fear.
And after the execution, Jihangir blamed himself for the death of his brother, believing that if he had not come to his camp, Mustafa would have been able to escape.
