WI: Aurelian avoids assassination?

The Emperor Aurelian, who reigned for five years from 270 to his assassination in 275, helped to singlehandedly re-unite the Roman Empire, and defeated all enemies who fought against him...

...Well almost all. A secretary named Eos told a lie over a minor issue. When he realized said lie could get him killed because Aurelian was a harsh administrator, managed to forge a document listing high officials the Emperor wanted to get rid of and thus, used this as a just cause to off him.

But what if say, an Aurelian loyalist got to the document first, what if the assassination attempt was somehow botched and Aurelian continues to reign as Emperor? What would Aurelian do to continue building the Empire? It was stated that the Emperor was going to invade Sasanian Persia which was ruled by Bahram II. Would his attempt succeed? What about the Sol Invictus cult? How would that fare?

Aurelian was a truly effective general and emperor.
He was closest as you can possibly get to end the "Crisis of the III-d century" singlehandedly.
But he only seemed to prove that it was impossible even for an outstanding talented person.
You see, if you are trying to have so many things under your personal supervision it is just a matter of time when something/somebody sleeps away and you get killed. The Empire was too big and too unruly at the moment to be ruled by one man.


Diocletian saw that if even Aurelian couldn't do that... he was forced to try the other way - tetrarchy.
 
Maybe he pulls a Diarchy and marries his daughter off to Probus, leaving him in the West like a reverse Tactius (currying him up by making him Caesar, even)? Once he settles the Persians, he's got some time to clean house if Probus can handle the Goths.
