肃顺与戊午科场案考论

AN OBSERVATION ON SU SHUN AND THE IMPERIAL EXAMINATION HALL CASE IN 1858

戊午科场舞弊案并非肃顺罗织的冤狱 ,案情的处理是同当时的战时环境及清朝统治阶级上层的政治斗争息息相关的。处死主考官大学士柏 俊艹 是肃顺推行重典治国策略的重要步骤 ,既整饬了吏治、打击了政敌 ,又为他实施重用汉臣的政策扫清了障碍。戊午科场案对咸同政局产生了深远影响。

The 1858 imperial examination hall case was not one framed up by Su Shun. The case was handled in accordance with the war situation and the political conflicts among the Qing rulers. The death penalty on Bai Jun, the then chief examiner, was an important step taken by Su Shun to carry out the strategy of running the country. The measure taken made a criticism of some government officials on the one hand and made a severe attack on the political opponents, thus exerting a far reaching impact upon politics during the period of Xian Tong(1851~1874).
