Between 1721 and 1727 he led the Tibetan cabinet (Kashag, Wylie: bka'-shag) that governed the country during the period of Qing rule of Tibet.

Khangchenné (the one from Khangchen), often known by the title Dai-ching Batur in Tibetan sources, did not stem from any of the older noble houses of Tibet.

He was able to make a career thanks to the Khoshut protector-king Lhabzang Khan who appointed him governor of West Tibet (Ngari) in 1715.

The Dzungar people unexpectedly invaded Tibet from the north-west in 1717 as a part of their strategy to dominate Inner Asia and to keep the Qing dynasty out.

Lhabzang Khan was killed in action in Lhasa in November and the Dzungar took over Tibet and led a harsh regime.

In 1719 he successfully attacked a troop of mounted Dzungar warriors who were about to bring some of Lhabzang Khan's old officers to Dzungaria.

The puppet regent Tagtsepa was executed, the 7th Dalai Lama was brought to Lhasa, and a provisional government was formed by the occupants.

[3] Thanks to his great services against the Dzungars, Khangchenné was appointed head of a Tibetan cabinet or Kashag in 1721 on the orders of Kangxi.

This problem was solved in 1723 when the Qing troops withdrew, leaving the administration entirely in Tibetan hands without any military support.

After the revolt had been suppressed, Kokonor (Qinghai) was integrated into the Qing Empire in early 1724 and thus separated from Central Tibet.

[8] His impopularity further increased due to an edict issued by Yongzheng which stipulated the persecution of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, which the Dalai Lama considered heretic.

The conspirators heard that the Yongzheng Emperor had sent two envoys to Khangcenné to offer praise and resolved to strike quickly before they had arrived.

The noble house Gashi, more known under the name Doring (Tibetan: རྡོ་རིང, Wylie: rdo-ring), survived this assault on its main representative.
