Yongzheng imperial examination
There were many situations in the imperial examination during the Yongzheng period. In terms of the restrictions on the identity of the examinees, it continued the previous dynasty's regulations that prohibited people with specific identities from participating in the imperial examination. For example, officials were not allowed to take the examination. Judging from the imperial examinations, in 1734, Yu Hongtu was cut in half for cheating in the imperial examinations. This incident also prompted Yongzheng to abolish the torture of cutting in half. In addition, during the Yongzheng period, there was a change in attitude towards the imperial examination and the officials of the imperial examination. For example, the strike of the imperial examination in Henan was caused by Tian Wenjing's handling of the Yellow River embankment problem, which caused the Confucian scholars to be dissatisfied and stop the examination. Although the incident had subsided, it changed Yongzheng's attitude towards officials who had passed the imperial examination. He began to suppress the officials who had passed the imperial examination and no longer let the Confucian scholars have a sense of superiority.

Imperial Examination in the First Year of Yongzheng
In the first year of Yongzheng, there was a fraud case in the imperial examination. Someone was selling exam questions in Bolun House and was discovered by the deputy chief examiner, Li Fu. He spent 70 taels of silver to buy the exam questions and found that they were real exam questions, thus exposing the fraud. There were complicated political factors behind this fraud case. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he wanted to implement a new policy, but he was hindered by the Eighth Grandfather Party. He urgently needed to discover and train his own talents through scientific examinations to promote reform. However, the political struggle at that time was complicated, and various forces were planting their own people. For example, when Emperor Yongzheng pushed his confidants to the top, his opponents also pushed their own people to the top. In this case, Hongshi colluded with the examiner Zhang Tinglu to create fraud. Because Hongli was valued by Kangxi since he was young, Hongshi was at a disadvantage in the fight for the throne. He wanted to earn money and accumulate connections through the imperial examination. Zhang Tinglu was blinded by greed and wanted to hug Hongshi's thigh and bring her own people. However, due to Li Fu and Li Wei's obstruction, the fraud case was exposed. Later, Hongshi requested to kill Zhang Tinglu quickly in order to silence him, and under the encouragement of his eighth uncle, he went further and further on the road of fighting for the throne, and was finally poisoned by Yongzheng. After the fraud case, the chief examiner Zhang Tinglu was cut in half and the examination hall was reopened. Wang Wenzhao was personally appointed as the top scorer by Emperor Yongzheng, Yin Jishan as the second runner-up, and Liu Molin as the flower.
