Imperial Examination Fraud Case Tang Bohu
The Science Examination Fraud Case, Tang Bohu
A brief introduction to the case of Tang Bohu's fraud in the imperial examination
In the 12th year of Hongzhi, Tang Bohu and his good friend Xu Jing entered the capital to participate in the examination. Xu Jing was born in a rich family. On his way to the capital, he talked with Tang Bohu about classics and papers and discussed his studies. After arriving in the capital, the other students were preparing for their exams in peace, but the two of them were active everywhere, visiting officials and scholars, including Li Dongyang, the Minister of Rites who later served as the chief examiner, and Cheng Minzheng, the scholar of the Imperial Academy. In February's exam, the chief examiner Cheng Minzheng's questions were unfamiliar and obscure. Many students could not write, but Tang Bohu's pen was full of flowers and his results were excellent. He seemed to be the best choice for the top scholar. Because the two of them had been running around before the exam, and their results were exceptionally good after the results were released, rumors spread among the students in the city in an instant. It was widely rumored that Xu Jing had used a large sum of money to buy the exam questions, and the examiner, Cheng Minzheng, had sold the exam questions. Huachang impeached Cheng Minzheng for selling the title to profit, implicating Xu Jing and Tang Bohu. In fact, Xu Jing did bribe the examiner's butler to get the questions in advance, but Tang Bohu did not know. In the end, the examiner was dismissed from office, Xu Jing was demoted to prison, and Tang Bohu was implicated and deposed as an official. He was forbidden to take the examination again and become an official. His fate was completely changed.

Official Records of Tang Bohu's Fraud Case
In the 13th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, Li Dongyang and Cheng Minzheng were the examiners. Before this, when Tang Bohu participated in the provincial examination, the head examiner Liang Chu was very appreciative of his talent. After Liang Chu returned to the capital, he mentioned Tang Bohu's talent many times to Cheng Minzheng. After that, Tang Bohu also visited Cheng Minzheng. At that time, Cheng Minzheng had not been appointed as the deputy examiner. He even speculated about the examination situation and questions for Tang Bohu. Then, Cheng Minzheng was appointed as the deputy examiner. Before the results of the exam were announced, it was rumored that the title of the eight-part essay written by Tang Bohu before the exam was very close to the exam questions. This matter was targeted by Hua Chang and reported to the emperor. The emperor first asked Li Dongyang to investigate, but Li Dongyang did not find that Tang Bohu's examination paper was accepted. Therefore, the emperor ordered Hua Chang, Tang Bohu, and Xu Jing (Tang Bohu's good friends who went to the capital to take the examination together) to be arrested for interrogation. During the interrogation stage, the examiner Lin Tingyu presented a memorial stating some reasoning. The Emperor felt that there was suspicion of selling the questions and arrested Cheng Minzheng, but Cheng Minzheng never admitted to selling the questions.
