An alleged insider account by a former servant-secretary to a self-styled holy man recounts that figure's ascent from obscure mystic to a powerful manipulator of the imperial household and political elites. Presented as confessions and documentary material, the narrative alleges blackmail, scandals, attempted poisonings, secret dealings with foreign interests, and meddling in appointments and policy. It structures these claims into episodes and chapters that expose supposed conspiratorial networks and betrayals, connecting personal intrigues to broader governmental weakening and offering a running dossier of accusations, exposures, and denunciations framed as a chronological revealing of corruption.
