Thankee for the info riti 😊
But as far my reading is concerned, Man Singh did not want to sit on the throne himself but he and some other people wanted Salim's son Khusru on the throne because Salim had already rebelled against his father and was infamous for his lifestyle and his way of ruling the area in and around Allahabad.
According to some Rajasthani annals (Annals of Boondee), Akbar wanted to poison Man Singh and prepared two capsules - one with poison and one without poison. But in agitation, Akbar took the poisoned pill and ultimately Akbar died for it.
According to other source, Akbar wanted to poison someone called Ghazi Beg. But there has not been any substantial proof that Akbar poisoned himself by mistake. According to official version and as believed by many, Akbar died due to gastronomical problems.
The perception about Akbar trying to kill Mansingh seems to be stretch of someone's imagination because Akbar has been always considered Mansingh as one of his close friends and Mansingh too, never rebelled against the Emperor even though he had got chance to join the rebellions against Akbar.
Most importantly, if Akbar really wanted to kill Mansingh for whatever reason and found that it's him who has taken the poisoned pills, the Emperor would have surely tried his best to reach his goal and kill Mansingh but that did nothappen.
Thanks alot for sharing Doyel 😊
