Towards the end of his life, Hossein Qoli Khan formed an alliance with Mass'oud Mirza Zell-e Soltan, the governor of Isfahan, and gained such power that he intended to stage a coup against Nasser al-Din Shah.

But Mirza Yusuf Ashtiani, the Shah's Prime Minister, poisoned Hossein Qoli Khan with Qajar coffee.

Hossein Gholi Khan Zarasvand Duraki, son of Jafar Gholi Khan Zarasvand Duraki and Bibi Shah Ipsand (daughter of Ali Saleh Al-Jamali) was born in 1821 in the Choghakhor region.

He first defeated the powerful Mohammad Taghikhan Bakhtiari, who had refused to pay taxes to the central government, and then had him executed.

Uniting the Bakhtiari clan, he suppressed rebellions against the central government and ended banditry, gaining the gratitude of the court.
