| The thesis revolving around the reclamation case analyses mainly the bureaucratic politics and the imperial power's influence on it in Yongzheng emperor period. On September 1735 (the 13th year Yongzheng ruling period), the emperor of Yongzheng passed away. The 4th son of Yongzheng emperor, HongLi ascended the throne, namely QianLong emperor. Then, the minister began to put forward the doubt on the problems that had arisen during the course of the operation of the many policies in Yongzheng emperor. And what had been criticized first was the reclamation case, which had a keen relation with Wangshijun. In October, it did not get to one month to ascend the throne for Qinglong Emperor, his teacher— daxueshi ZhuShi had put forward overall criticism on the kaiken policy. He pointed out that there existed lots of practical frauds during the course of kaiken in many provinces. Afterwards, in November, the minister of household department— Shiyizhi ˊ s speech submitted to the emperor pointed to Henan province controlled by Wangshijun. And Wangshijun case has been exposed. The truth that Wangshijun turned into a criminal officer from a VIP minister showed that the ruling policy would take a change with the new emperor coming to power. But this is not the subject that the theses will discuss, what this thesis pay attention to is the reclamation policy that nearly deliver Wangshijun to the death as well as its gain and loss. Wangshijun as a main actor played a key role in the reclamation. The most splendid period that he took charge of henna and shandong provinces as the governor also was the term of having the drawbacks to the largest quantity. In Henan province, in order to repay the confidence of emperor for him, at the same time, it is also to show the ability of him to the emperor, Wangshijun had put major energy on firmly conducting the reclamation policy. Therefore, Yongzheng always regarded Wangshijun as his confidant, valued him much, even exceeded that on Tianwenjing, and let him as a typical case that other officials could learn from. Since Yongzheng encouraged reclamation, at the same time, the selection policy gave rise to the stimulation on the officialdom at that time as well so that officialdom generated the spirit of sharp and stern, official formed the standard of the best being hard. Even the major standard to appraise official was how much wasteland a officer could reclaim. Under the role of this double factors officials emulated Wangshijun to urge to reclaim wasteland. lots of false reports in many provinces had appeared, as a result, the reclamation case occurred. During the course of reclamation, a group of officials exemplified by Wangshijun had gradually turned into "only know the kingdom without their own, only know the emperor without others " under the role of the imperial power. Then, during the course of exerting the policy various abuses had been given birth to t unavoidably, It was unexceptional that the reclamation case such as Wangshijun case had been exposed after the new emperor in power. And the new emperor was faced with the adjustment of the policies and deletion of drawback in former dynasty. The Wangshijun case in Henan province that was typical example in former dynasty and impeached by others bore the brunt of reformation exerted by the new emperor. The new emperor also began to adjust the reclamation policy of former dynasty with the opportunity, delete the harsh spirit in officialdom and set up the new norms of officialdom specification.
