後為中台掾，有侍御史倚勢貪財，御史發其贓，天璋主文牘，未及奏，顧為所譖，俱拘內廷，御史對食悲哽，天璋問故，御史曰：「吾老，唯一女，心憐之，聞吾係，不食數日矣，是以悲耳。」 Later he served as a clerk of the Central Censorate. An attendant censor had been relying on his position to embezzle funds, and a censor exposed his corruption. Tianzhang was in charge of the documents and had not yet submitted the report when the accused slandered him; both were detained in the inner court. The censor wept bitterly over his meal. Tianzhang asked why, and the censor said: "I am old and have only one daughter whom I cherish. Hearing that I am detained, she has not eaten for days—that is why I grieve."
