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.

The Case of Fraud in the Scientific Examination in the Late Qing Dynasty
The Wuwu Examination Field Case at the end of the Qing Dynasty was a famous case of cheating in the scientific examination. In the imperial examination fraud case that occurred in the eighth year of Xianfeng (1858), examinee Luo Hongsi bribed the family of the chief examiner, Bai Wei, in an attempt to pass the examination. When Bai Yan was reading the exam papers, he had made Luo Hongsi a secondary roll. However, when Jin Xiang was sorting out the exam papers, he took out a roll from the main roll and swapped it with Luo Hongsi's exam paper, making Luo Hongsi the main roll. When the examination papers were reviewed, Luo Hongsi's examination papers were not fluent and had many typos. Although the reviewing officials noticed that something was wrong, they did not dare to reject it because of Bai Wei's power. They only revealed it to Censor Meng Chuanjin. Meng Chuanjin was loyal to his duty, Emperor Xianfeng was angry and personally reviewed, ordered Luo Hongsi to the south study to re-examine and sent Sushun to supervise the examination, Luo Hongsi and handed over the poor examination paper. This case shocked the court and revealed a series of complicated problems. In the end, it led to the beheading of the Grand Scholar of the Profound Language Pavilion, the first-grade official, Bai Yan, and four other people.

Imperial Examination Fraud Case Executed Directly
In the history of China's imperial examinations, there were cases of people directly executing the relevant personnel in the case of fraud in the imperial examinations. For example, in 1657, Emperor Shunzhi held a fraud case in the provincial imperial examination. After the Shuntian provincial examination was exposed, Emperor Shunzhi made a ruling and beheaded five examiners and two Juren. The Jiangnan provincial examination fraud case was dealt with even more severely. The chief examiner, Qian Kaizong, was sentenced to death. Seventeen examinees, including Ye Chuhuai, were sentenced to hanging. Eight examinees, including Fang Zhangyue, were sentenced to 40 boards of punishment. Their family property was confiscated into the government. Their parents, brothers, wives and children were moved to Liuning Ancient Pagoda. There was a similar situation in the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Shi was listed as the first in the first division of the imperial examination through bribery, but was found to be ignorant and incompetent. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was furious and severely punished all the examiners of the division and stripped Zhang Shi of his title as the top scholar. Although it was not explicitly mentioned whether or not they would be executed, it could be seen that the punishment for cheating in the imperial examination was very heavy. All of this showed that under the imperial examination system, the imperial court would take severe punishment measures, including execution, to maintain the fairness and seriousness of the imperial examination system and prevent the spread of fraud from affecting the selection of talents and the stability of the regime.

Yongzheng imperial examination fraud case Hongshi
In the Yongzheng imperial examination fraud case, Hongshi played a key role. As Hongli was valued by Kangxi since childhood and was regarded as a powerful heir to the throne, Hongshi felt that he had lost at the starting line in the battle for the throne, so he wanted to make money and accumulate connections through Enke in the first year of Yongzheng. Hongshi was influenced by his eighth uncle Yinsi's ambition and political tactics. He roped in the examiner Zhang Tinglu to cheat in the scientific examination. Zhang Tinglu was blinded by greed and also wanted to hug Hongshi's thigh and bring her own people. The two hit it off. However, this time Enke was responsible for cultivating talents for the new dynasty. Yongzheng personally wrote the questions and sealed the questions, but Hongshi did not have a big picture. In the process of cheating, due to Li Fu and Li Wei's obstruction, the matter was exposed. After the incident, in order to protect himself, Hongshi did not cover up or plead for Zhang Tinglu. Instead, he requested to quickly kill Zhang Tinglu to achieve the purpose of silencing him. Hongshi did not stop there. Under the encouragement of his eighth uncle, he went further and further on the road of fighting for the throne and was finally killed by Yongzheng. However, there was a difference between the real situation in history and the plot in movies and television dramas.

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.
