[1] However, after Mustafa II's overthrow, Sultan Ahmed III (r. 1703–1730) appointed Çorlulu Ali as a "vizier of the dome" (kubbe vezir, i.e., a member of the Imperial Council).
He was briefly appointed as the beylerbey (governor-general) of Tripoli (modern Lebanon) in 1704, but quickly returned to Istanbul and resumed his position as "vizier of the dome".
[1] Indeed, after his defeat at the Battle of Poltava, Charles XII refused to treat with Çorlulu Ali, as he believed that he had been promised assistance from the Crimean Khanate, an Ottoman vassal, that had never materialized.
[1] But before he was able to reach his new office, the sultan changed his mind and exiled Ali Pasha to the island of Lesbos (in modern Greece), where he was then executed in December 1711.
[1] Çorlulu Ali erected a number of monuments, including a school and a fountain at Çorlu, and two Friday mosques in Istanbul: at the Imperial Arsenal, and at the Çarşıkapi [tr] quarter, where his tomb is.
