Answer 1

B. KANGXI

Perhaps the greatest emperor in Chinese history, Kangxi took charge of the government while still in his teens and reigned for 61 years.

Xuanye was the name of the Kangxi Emperor. He was born in 1654 and his reign as emperor began when he was only 7 years old, from 1661 to 1722. However, his actual rule began when he turned 13 years old.
