One is the case of Ding You (1657) in the 14th year of Shunzhi.
The first case is Beiyong (Shuntianfu Beijing area) case. Because examiners such as Li and Zhang Wofu openly asked for bribes, all the children of Beijing officials above the third grade were admitted, but some people spent money but failed, so voting was called unfair. 127, the emperor shunzhi ordered that Li, Zhang Wofu, Cai Yuanxi, Lu Yiji, Xiang Shaofen, Tian Gui and Wu all be beheaded. Their property was confiscated and their families were exiled to Shangyangbao (now 40 miles east of Kaiyuan County, Liaoning Province, one of the three exile places in the Qing Dynasty).
On the 17th day of the first month of the 15th year of Shunzhi, Jinshi entered the examination room under the escort of the Eight Banners' pro-soldiers, and the emperor took the exam himself. On the 25th, it was announced that it was over, and Su and other eight juren were dismissed.182m was still allowed to try. On April 23, the emperor shunzhi personally tried the rest of the prisoners in Taihemen, severely reprimanded 25 people who should be put to death, and all of them were spared death, each with 40 responsibilities, and moved to Shangyangbao. The emperor shunzhi also emphasized: "From now on, all examiners and scholars must obey work orders, repent of old habits, be honest and clean ... If they commit such crimes again, they will not feel embarrassed."
Unexpectedly, after half a year, the Yin Festival in the incident was given again, and the Jiangnan official exam was cheated, which triggered a heated debate. The emperor shunzhi's anger over the handling of the case of the rural examination in the northern suburbs has not disappeared. Hearing this, he added fuel to the fire and flew into a rage. Immediately ordered to reprimand Fang You and other examiners. "It is extremely hateful to dare to do this after I face it." And fired the examiner, ordered the governor Ron Zuo Ting to investigate the case.
At that time, Jiangnan Bookstore also carved a legend named Ji, which removed the word "Fang" as "Wan" and the word "Qian" as "Jin", referring to two examiners.
You Xitang (Dong) of Cheung Chau made another legend, Jun Tianle, and also talked about bribing joints in exams. The book Jun Tian Le has spread to the capital and caused a storm in this city.
In February of the 15th year of Shunzhi, the emperor shunzhi went to Yingtai in Zhongnanhai to personally test the positive and negative lists of Jiangnan Chinese style in this branch library. The situation is similar to the last pro-test. Every juren carries instruments of torture, and the sergeant of the guard battalion monitors with a knife and is heavily guarded. This time, Wu Kemin ranked first and became Xie Yuan. His article is really good, in which the phrase "not for officials who are not cherished by the imperial court, nor for the reputation of being insignificant in hardworking towns and villages" was once said by the world that he has the demeanor of a prime minister. The emperor shunzhi appreciated Wu Kemin very much and specially gave him Jinshi and.
At the end of the pro-exam, 24 people were suspended, 14 people were expelled and 74 people took the exam.
Another case happened in the eighth year of Xianfeng, that is, 1858, the trial case of Shuntianfu Township in the Fifth Five-Year Plan, which was caused by infighting among the invigilators in Shuntianfu.
Rumor has it that there are ominous big heads in Hiram's hospital, which makes people panic for some time. After the list was published, it was reported that Ping Ling, one of his grandfathers, had performed on stage because of his love of singing opera in 10 before the Chinese wind 10. Therefore, the capital talked noisily, saying that the actor also won the lottery. Therefore, Meng Chuanjin wrote a letter to impeach the matter, and in this way, things became more and more troublesome.
The examination room of Shuntianfu after having obtained the provincial examination is not in Shi Jing imperial court. The examiner is Bai Heng, minister of military affairs and a cabinet university student, and the deputy examiner is Zhu, a minister of the Ministry of Housing, and Cheng Tinggui, a Zuo Yushi.
These officials investigating the case are at odds with Bai Heng, and they want to take this opportunity to build a prison to gain prestige. Chen Fuen first found the invigilator's deputy capital, the imperial censor Cheng Tinggui, and obliquely mentioned the situation of the imperial examination room. Cheng Tinggui is an honest man, thinking that Chen Fuen accidentally mentioned that he opened the back door of the examination room and handed a note. To be honest, this is not surprising. The number of notes I received alone is more than 100. So Chen Fuen borrowed it and took all the notes.
As a result of Chen Fuen's investigation, Cheng Xiu, Cheng Tinggui's second son, and Chen Jingyan, Chen Fuen's biological son, were both involved. Chen Fuen has his own background, covering up the past. Others and so on. "Therefore, the case has many plots, and it is impossible to thoroughly investigate it without dismissing it." As a result, Bai Heng, Zhu and Cheng Tinggui were all dismissed and imprisoned.
In this way, Emperor Xianfeng could not bear it, but he was helpless.
In February of the ninth year of Xianfeng, he wrote a letter: "Although the situation can be forgiven, the law is difficult to forgive. I can't help crying when I think about this! " So, Bai Heng and his examiners Pu An, China Juren Pingling, Luo Hongze, the principal Li Heling, Cheng Bingcai, Cheng Tinggui's eldest son, etc. were tied to the food market and asked questions. Cheng Tinggui was sent to work in the military station, Zhu was dismissed, and dozens of others were dismissed, demobilized, demoted and transferred.
The minister of military affairs and a university student were executed for the imperial examination case, which was the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
From the above two cases, we can see the corruption of imperial examinations and the filth of officialdom in Qing Dynasty.
