Yongzheng imperial examination case

The cheating case in Yongzheng Dynasty was a plot in a TV series. There was not enough information to prove that it was a real incident. In this plot, the case involved many characters, and there were many doubts. Some even thought that this might be a plot set by Yongzheng himself, but this was all based on the analysis of the plot of the TV series.

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.

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.
