The four ministers who assisted Xuanye mentioned above can be said to be the "remnants" of Hauge and the enemies of Dorgon. This is the reason why Fulin reused them and made them assist the ministers when Xuanye came to the throne.

Just like the situation in previous dynasties where many ministers were at odds with each other, the four ministers also had party disputes and could not work together to seek national affairs and help each other in the same boat. The first was the disagreement between Sony and Suksaha, and then came the dispute between Obai and Suksaha.

Sony died of illness in June of the sixth year of Kangxi's reign. In fact, the party struggle between him and Suksaha was not intense. But it was after this that the party struggle between Obai and Suksaha became intense.

As mentioned before, the flag that Aobai belongs to is the yellow flag, while the flag of Suksaha is the white flag.

When Dorgon secretly occupied Beijing and annexed Beizhili (Hebei Province), he arrogantly acted like a conqueror and allowed the bannermen to occupy the fields and houses of the Han people for their own use, and then ordered them to be occupied unreasonably. The Han people who had lost their land and houses found other places as compensation (actually driving them away), which was to "enclose the land."

Dorgon's own Zhengbai Banner, which was already claiming to be "the proud son of heaven" at that time, occupied a large number of fields and houses in Jizhou, Zunhua Prefecture and Qian'an Prefecture counties, and the land was fertile. However, the Xianghuang Banner, one of the two yellow flags, was originally located on the Zhengbai Banner, but was forcibly restricted by Dorgon to areas with poor land quality.

Now twenty years have passed in a flash. Obai wants to open the archives of old events and let Zhengbai Banner and Xianghuang Banner exchange land. Of course Suksaha will object, arguing that the people of the two banners have lived together for many years. , it is not convenient to order them to exchange and move now.

Obai himself was a grumpy person, otherwise how could he be known as "Batulu"? Regardless of whether Suksaha objected or not, in December of the fifth year of Kangxi, he ordered Suna, a bachelor and minister of household management, to Haihui, together with Zhu Changzuo, the governor of Zhili, and Wang Denglian, the governor, presided over the land exchange. The three people tried to do it, but encountered great resistance, so they suggested to Obai that the land exchange could be suspended for a while. Aobai was now in great power, and Xuan Ye had not yet taken charge. In Xuan Ye's name, Aobai issued an imperial edict saying that Sunahai and three others would be executed together for "contempting their orders."

In July of the following year, Kangxi came to power. Suk Saha knew that he could not compete with the current Obai in terms of power, so he wrote a letter saying that he was willing to retire. The memorial included two sentences: "Begging to guard the late emperor's mausoleum, the common man can save the rest of his life." At that time, he was only The fifteen-year-old Kangxi still couldn't understand the meaning of these two sentences, so he asked Suk Saha: Why must we guard the late emperor's mausoleum to save the rest of his life?

Obey saw this as an opportunity, so he said that Suksaha was "resentful" (complaining and disappointed with the emperor) and did not want the current political power to be in the hands of the emperor. He also listed Suksaha's twenty-four major crimes, which should be continued in succession. His eldest son Zha Kedan was executed by Lingchi together, and his other sons and several grandsons, as well as nephews, distant relatives, etc., all needed to be executed.

Kangxi refused, but Obai dared to roll up his sleeves directly, as if he was about to take action. Kangxi was young and fearfully agreed with Obai's plan, and only changed Suk Saha's Ling Chi to hanging.

Although Kangxi did this, he had already had Oboi's thoughts in mind, but now that the power and political groups in the court were owned by Obai, he could only adjust the candidates for the ministers, so he thought of a way.

Recruit some of the sons of princes and ministers and let them be your bodyguards. In fact, how could Kangxi worry that his guards were not enough to protect him? He was preparing that these guards would do him a big favor and get rid of Obai one day in the future. These guards arrived at the palace and practiced "fighting" (similar to Mongolian wrestling) with him.

It was not until the third day of May in the eighth year of Kangxi's reign that Kangxi planned a plan to capture Oboi. Oboi went to court as usual, Kangxi winked, and the young men swarmed up and fought with Obai for dozens of rounds, locking him up and capturing him.

After the matter was over, Kangxi immediately asked the kings and ministers to study Obai's crimes. The kings and ministers discussed the report and said that Obai had thirty major crimes (six more than Suksaha) and his clan should be exterminated. Kangxi's affectionate and tolerant side was revealed. He said: "I wish he could serve for a long time and avoid death. His sentence was changed to imprisonment and his house was confiscated."

Aobai's two younger brothers Marimu and Saibende, his nephew Nemo, as well as his party members, the bachelor Banbulshan, the ministers Asiha, Gachuha, Jishi, the minister Bitu, the bachelor Wugesai, All beheaded.
