WI: Amir Kabir continues to govern Persia/Iran?

Instead of being sacked and murdered, Amir Kabir remains in the good graces of the Shah and continues to pursue reform. Many have suggested this is Iran's best shot at modernization/industrialization, do you think that is true? What happens to the nobility that resisted him? With a weaker Shah, is democracy able to be established in Iran? Or does government-led industrialization counteract that?
