Conspiracy
According to the common belief, Hürrem prepared a conspiracy to overthrow Mustafa. Her partner in this plot was Rüstem Pasha.
Rüstem sent one of Suleiman’s most trusted men to report that since Suleiman was not at the head of the army, the soldiers thought the time had come to put a younger prince on the throne, whilst spreading rumours Mustafa had proved receptive to the idea. Suleiman wasn't interested at first but he became ferocious when he heard it from a trusted source.

Famous quotes containing the word conspiracy:
“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”
—Frederick Douglass (c. 1817–1895)
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
