The Case of Fraud in the Examination Field of the Yongzheng Dynasty
The cheating case in the examination hall in Yongzheng Dynasty involved many people in the Qing Dynasty. The first was Hong Shi's problem. He was the person behind the sale of the exam questions, and Zhang Tinglu was just smuggling examinees. Yongzheng claimed that the test questions were written by himself, sealed and hidden in a confidential file cabinet. Hongshi could not know the contents of the test questions according to common sense, but he got the test questions, which was a big doubt. Moreover, the price of a test paper was 70 taels of silver. From the number of people Li Wei caught in the examination hall, there were at most 20 people who cheated, and the total profit was less than 2000 taels. As a prince, Hong Shi did not seem to lack this bit of money, so the real purpose of selling the test paper was thought-provoking. Secondly, the eighth prince recommended Zhang Tinglu as the main examiner. The purpose behind this behavior was also worth exploring. Because of Zhang Tingyu's loyalty to Yongzheng, it seemed useless for the Eighth Prince to express his goodwill to Zhang Tingyu. Moreover, as the deputy chief examiner, Li Fu had just sat down when someone tried to sell the exam questions to him. No one would openly sell the imperial examination questions, so how did he know that someone was selling the exam questions in Bolun House? This seemed too coincidental. There was also the Taoist priest who had appeared out of nowhere. He knew that Liu Molin and the other two would obtain the "Three Cauldrons Armor" result. If he had a divine foresight, wouldn't he know that someone had already bought the exam to cheat? Under such circumstances, he was still certain that the three of them were definitely high school students. Could it be that Liu Molin and the others were really stronger than the cheaters? On the whole, from Hongshi getting the exam questions, to someone exposing it to Li Fu, to Liu Molin and the others confirming the identity of the "Three Cauldrons Armor", it seemed unrelated, but in fact, it could be a conspiracy. The mastermind behind the scenes was very likely Yongzheng himself. At the beginning of Yongzheng's succession, after he dealt with the eighth and fourteenth princes, the two competitors for the throne, he thought that the imperial power could change the world. At that time, the eighth prince was the prime minister, and the minister was working hard to cast new coins. Nuomin, who was recommended by Long Keduo, claimed to pay back the debts owed by his predecessor for more than ten years within half a year. Yongzheng was happy to give Nuomin a plaque of "The First Governor in the World". However, after Nuomin's fraud was exposed, Yongzheng lacked his own manpower in Jiangnan and other places. This series of events may be related to the power scheme behind the cheating case.

Consequences of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Examination Fraud Case
The consequences of cheating in the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty were very serious. In the 1657 provincial examination fraud case, the examiner and other seven people were beheaded, and their families and wives were exiled. In the 14th year of Shunzhi, the chief examiners Fang You and Qian Kaizong were sentenced to death for cheating in the Jiangnan provincial examination. His wife and family property were confiscated and the remaining 18 examiners (one of whom died of illness) were hanged. In 1711, after Kangxi learned of the Xinmao Examination Field case, he killed all the deputy examiners and those who cheated. The chief examiner committed suicide in prison to avoid punishment. The governors of the two rivers and the governor of Jiangsu were dismissed. Yu Hongtu was sentenced to execution by Yongzheng for his concubines and servants 'greed and involvement in cheating in the imperial examination (he himself was kept in the dark). In the case of Pingling in Xianfeng years, Bai Wei, Li Heling, Pu 'an, Luo Hongyi and Cheng Bingcai were executed immediately. Cheng Tinggui should have been executed. The emperor thought that he was old and his son was sentenced to death, so he was exiled and banished to the army. It could be seen that in the Qing Dynasty, the examiners involved in the imperial examination fraud cases were often sentenced to capital punishment, and their families might also be implicated, such as being exiled or losing their property. If the examinees participated in the fraud, they would also be severely punished, and the relevant supervisory officials might also be dismissed.

What were the fraud cases in the Qing Dynasty examination field?
In the Qing Dynasty, the cheating cases in the examination field included the Ding You case in the 14th year of Shunzhi (1657 AD), the Xin Mao case in the 50th year of Kangxi (1711 AD), and the Wu Wu case in the 8th year of Xianfeng (1858 AD). The Ding You case happened in the Shuntian provincial examination. After the examination, the results were released. Most of the people on the list were the children of rich people, but the students who had long been famous failed. The examinees discovered that there was blatant cheating in the examination hall, and the examiner took bribes. In the end, the examiner was beheaded, his property was confiscated, and his family was exiled. The Xinmao case happened in the Jiangnan provincial examination. Except for the thirteen people in Suzhou, most of the candidates on the list were the sons of Yangzhou salt merchants. Some of the recommended candidates were illiterate. Emperor Kangxi ordered a thorough investigation. It was confirmed that the main examiner and deputy examiner had accepted bribes. The main examiner was exiled, and the deputy examiner and cheating candidates were executed. In the Wuwu examination field case, the examinee Luo Hongsi was shallow in talent and learning. He bribed Jin Xiang, the family member of the examiner Bai Wei, and got to know the examiner Pu An. He bribed Bai Wei and Pu An to exchange the examination papers. In addition, Pingling, who was elected as a Peking opera actor, could not take the examination according to the law, and there were problems such as altering and exchanging the examination papers. According to the law, Bai Wei should be beheaded. Although Emperor Xianfeng intended to be lenient, Sushun insisted on severe punishment according to law, and Bai Wei was finally beheaded.
