Bozorgmehr – a great persian man

I want to write about one of the great mans of
Persia. His name was Bozorgmehr. He had been the grand minister of Sassanids Empire. He was very merciful and wise person. I want to write about when and why they killed him. He was minister of Anushirvan (king of Persia in 1500 years ago). When Anushirvan became old one day he called his ministers (Bozorgmehr and Rahrovan) to consult about his successor. Bozorgmehr told him that his older boy would be a cruel king because he socialized with evil guys But his younger boy was a good boy and he socialized with wise mans he would be a merciful king . But Rahrovan (second minister) say to Anushirvan “ your older boy should be king because this is an ancient custom” . servants who been there said this question to older boy and older boy took vengeance to Bozorgmehr .
After death of Anushirvan older brother became king of
Persia .one time he called Bozorgmehr and said to him “ Do you remember what you say about me in front of my father ? You have two choice : 1- you should say something about Rahrovan because I want to kill him and you should sentenced him to death 2- I sentenced you to death
he knew that Bozorgmehr wouldn’t say anything untruth and he didn’t dastardliness to his friend but Bozorgmehr said that I choose number one but I should said my speech in front of all people . king surprised and accepted the condition.
In the speech Rahrovan said to Bozorgmehr: “ we are friend . why you want to sentenced me to death . what wrong work you see from me?”. Bozorgmehr answer to him “yes you done one work wrong . do you remember the day that Anushirvan called us and ask from us about his successor ? you said that older brother is better than another but I said to you he is cruel . he destroy
Persia with his ignorance. He would be a crazy king but you didn’t accept my words” . the king knew that Bozorgmehr didn’t want to dastardliness his friend he wants to insult to king in front off all of the people.
The king sentenced Bozorgmehr to death . and he ordered when he died took his clothes and show his naked body to his daughter . when his daughter came she first unveiling of herself and when she saw his father she wear a veil. King asked her about what her did . she answer him: ”there weren’t any man . all of you are lower than be a man . what you done with my father is against manliness.”
MAY HIS SOUL REAST IN PEACE .
