康熙末年清廷入到西藏驅逐準噶爾入侵之後，西藏世俗政事由清廷任命嘅幾位噶倫負責。雍正年間阿爾布巴之亂平定之後，清廷命令噶倫頗羅鼐總理西藏嘅政務，受到駐藏大臣制約。喺頗羅鼐執政期間，當局形容佢嘅表現係「克盡忠誠，實心效力」，得到朝廷信任。到乾隆四年（1739年），因為招攬、撫平巴勒布三部（依家尼泊爾加德滿都谷地嗰邊）停戰有功，頗羅鼐晉封多羅郡王，成為清代權勢最大嘅西藏王公。乾隆十二年（1747年）頗羅鼐病死，朝廷封佢第二個仔珠爾默特那木札勒繼承郡王爵，同時兼顧噶倫事務。珠爾默特那木札勒「素不信奉達賴喇嘛，心懷仇隟」，表面上服從駐藏大臣，但暗中聯絡蒙古準噶爾部，等機會出兵反叛。乾隆十四年（1749年），珠爾默特那木札勒殺死佢大哥珠爾默特策布登，控制住阿里。乾隆十五年（1750年），駐藏大臣傅清、拉布敦因為形勢，誘殺珠爾默特那木札勒，同佢同一派嘅卓呢爾（官名）羅卜藏札什就殺咗嗰兩個駐藏大臣。跟住清廷就派四川總督策楞帶兵入藏平息叛變。
In the last years of Kangxi, after the Qing court entered Tibet to expel the Dzungar invasion, the secular political affairs of Tibet were in charge of several people appointed by the Qing court. After the Albuba Rebellion was pacified during the Yongzheng period, the government affairs of Tibet, which was ordered by the Qing court, were restricted by the minister stationed in Tibet. During his time in power, the authorities described him as "loyal and honest", and he was trusted by the imperial court. In the fourth year of Qianlong (1739), because of his meritorious efforts in recruiting and pacifying the armistice of the three tribes of Baleb (now the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal), Po Luo Nai was made the king of Doro County, becoming the most powerful Tibetan prince in the Qing Dynasty. In the twelfth year of Qianlong (1747), Po Luo Nai died of illness, and the imperial court appointed his second child, Zhurmat Namzal, to inherit the prince of the county, and at the same time take care of the affairs of Lun. Zhurmat Namzale "never believed in the Dalai Lama and harbored a grudge", ostensibly obeying the minister stationed in Tibet, but secretly contacted the Dzungar Ministry of Mongolia and waited for the opportunity to send troops to rebel. In the 14th year of Qianlong (1749), Zhurmat Namzal killed his eldest brother Zhurmat Tsebuden and took control of Ali. In the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), Fu Qing and Labdun, the ministers stationed in Tibet, booby-trapped Zhurmat Namzal because of the situation, and Zhuo Nar (official name) of the same faction as him killed the two ministers stationed in Tibet. Then the Qing court sent the governor of Sichuan, Celeng, to lead troops into Tibet to quell the rebellion.
