Who helped the young Kangxi emperor take control of his government?

When the Kangxi emperor ascended the throne at age six, his government was initially administered by four conservative Manchu regents: Sonin, Suksaha, Ebilun, and Oboi. Over time, Oboi emerged as a virtual dictator, consolidating power by eliminating rivals and intimidating other officials.1

In 1669, at the age of 15, the young emperor successfully moved to reclaim full control of his government. He eliminated Oboi and Ebilun with the assistance of his grandmother, the grand empress dowager, and his Chinese tutor, Xiong Cili. The final arrest of Oboi was executed by a group of young wrestlers who ambushed the minister from a hiding place behind the throne, signaling to the public that the emperor had become the true master of the state.1
