A new name came to the front which quelled the risen tempest—the last scion of the famous Küprili family, every member of which was a hero.
Achmed Küprilizade collected together the ten thousand shebejis, bostanjis, and baltajis who dwelt round the Seraglio, and when everyone was in despair attacked the rebels in the open streets, routed them in the piazzas, and in three days seven thousand of the people fell beneath his blows—and so the realm had peace once more.
Janaki also fell. They chopped off his head and he offered not the slightest resistance.
As for Pelivan and Kabakulak they were banished for their cowardice.
So Achmed Küprilizade became Grand Vizier.
As for Achmed III. he lived nine years longer in the Seven Towers, and tradition says he died by poison.
