Qurumushi was a member of force tasked by Tekuder with severing the connection between princes Arghun and Qonqurtay in 1284. He served as a messenger to his father on 1 May 1284 when Tekuder asked Alinaq to prepare for fight against pro-Arghun forces. However, they prevailed and Alinaq was executed on 4 July 1284 by Arghun.

Ghazan continued purging of rival princes and emirs later on and sent Qurumushi and Chupan against another Borjigid prince, Arslan who was captured by Ghazan previously and pardoned, revolted in Bilasuvar in 1296. After a series of battles near Baylaqan he too was captured and executed,[4] along with the rebellious emirs on 29 March.

Qurumushi was among the leading emirs in Mamluk-Ilkhanid War. He fought in Battle of Wadi al-Khaznadar as the commander of the 3rd contingent in right, after Ghazan himself, Elbasmish and Chichak noyans.[5]
Revolt
After
It was when Qurumushi started to conspire a revolt.
While Abu Sa'id was gathering his forces in Soltaniyeh, Qurumshi and Irinjin besieged Tabriz, forcing its inhabitants to pay 70,000 dinars and give them provisions. Rebels later captured Sarab, Miyaneh and Zanjan. Abu Sa'id's army were commanded by Taz, son of Kitbuqa and Mamluk renegade Qara Sonqur. The sides fought a battle on 13 July 1319[9] in which Irinjin and Qurumushi were beaten. Qurumushi fled but captured by Khaja Badr al-Din Lu'lu' near the river Kur and sent to Soltaniyeh. The Georgian king George V of Georgia supported the Il-Khanate in helping crush Qurumshi's revolt.[10]

It will also be recalled that al-'Umari says that Chupan counted on King Giorgi as 'a remover of any unpleasantness'. As an example of this we may cite Giorgi's active role in the suppression of the revolt of the Amir Qurmishi, who was military governor in Georgia. In 1319 this personage tried to take advantage of Chupan's many commitments in order to secede from the Il-Khanian empire. King Giorgi, however, refused to countenance this and helped to crush Qurmishi. The situation was soon brought under control.
