The second year of Yongzheng's military examination
The National Library's "Record of the Provincial Military Examination in Lianghe, Shaanxi and Gansu Province in the Second Year of Yongzheng" completely presented the historical picture of the selection of martial arts candidates in Gansu Province at that time. The officialdom of Gansu Province attached great importance to this provincial examination and set up a special working team. Among them, the administrative commissioner and the judge were divided into the supervisor and the transfer officer. Many local officials served as the examination officer, the supervisor, the roll call officer, the title printing officer, the roll granting officer, the test paper collecting officer, the roll printing officer, the seal officer, the roll calling officer, the title writing officer, the search officer and so on. In addition, because the provincial martial arts examination mainly tested the ability to ride horses and shoot arrows, it also arranged for people to play the roles of referees, border patrollers, scorekeepers, etc. in similar sports events. For example, the archery supervisor was made up of five generals and one thousand generals, and the archery officer was made up of three thousand generals. There were 112 martial arts exams in the Qing Dynasty, and the Jiachen exam in the second year of Yongzheng was one of them. This exam also admitted some Wujin scholars.

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.
