How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Supervisor Tiansi.

Ever since the Second Prince's sudden visit last time, Guo Tianheng had been suspicious. He had a premonition that the Second Prince would come again, so he ordered all the staff of the Heavenly Monitoring Division to be on alert at all times, and to notify him immediately if the Second Prince stepped onto the Heavenly Monitoring Division's steps.

Therefore, when he heard someone announce that the Second Prince had arrived, Guo Tianheng hurried out to greet him and said to Xie Chengze respectfully, "Your Highness has suddenly visited the Heavenly Guardian. I wonder what's the matter?"

Thanks to the Second Prince's chance encounter with the first snow that day, the Heavenly Monitoring Division was able to predict the snow disaster earlier, so Guo Tianheng was so polite to Xie Chengze... Of course, he was more afraid, afraid that Xie Chengze would have another fit and smash his Heavenly Monitoring Division's tower like he did five years ago.

"Guo Tiling...Alas! Alas!"

When he saw Guo Tianheng, Xie Chengze first sighed deeply, then hesitated to speak, and kept shaking his head with a helpless look on his face, as if he felt sorry for him.

Guo Tianheng was a little fidgety with his appearance, "Your Highness, if you have something to say, why don't you just say it?"

Xie Chengze then looked at him deeply and said slowly, "Didn't you say before that you were short of people in the Tianjian Division? Originally, I found a student for you. This person is extremely talented in arithmetic. He was able to understand and apply all the arithmetic teachings I wrote. It can be seen how terrifying his talent is!"

"Are you serious?" Guo Tianheng was overjoyed, but seeing Xie Chengze's embarrassed expression, he could not help but suppress his joy and asked tentatively, "But...?"

"However, the old man from the Ministry of Works was disrespectful and intercepted the student halfway!" Xie Chengze said angrily, "I just mentioned that I wanted to send the student to the Ministry of Heavenly Supervision, but the old man relied on his own achievements and asked my father for an imperial decree to send the student to the Ministry of Works!"

Zhu Xiaobiao who was standing by heard it:!!!∑(?△?;?)??

Your Highness, this is not what you said when you were in the Ministry of Works just now!

"What?!" Hearing that Gu Lao had robbed someone, Guo Tianheng immediately became angry, "How can this be absurd! How can he be so shameless!"

Guo Tianheng said angrily, "What is the status of my Tianshi Department? What is the status of his Ministry of Works! Letting a math genius work in the Ministry of Works is simply a waste of talent! I think Gu Yun is clearly trying to ruin the bright future of other students!"

"That's right!" Xie Chengze hurriedly added fuel to the fire, "I advised him to release the people, but he actually said that he built the Tianxing Tower of your Tianjiansi, and it is only natural for him to steal from you! Don't you think this is abominable!"

"How abominable! I'm going to the Ministry of Works to get him back right away! By the way, let's talk to him. If we don't build this tower, what's the use of their Ministry of Works!" Guo Tianheng was so angry that his beard was shaking. He raised his thigh and planned to go to the Ministry of Works himself to get the person back!

"No, no!" Xie Chengze hurriedly stopped him and advised, "Guo Ti Ling, calm down! His Majesty has already issued an order. If you go to the Ministry of Works to snatch people now, wouldn't that be a slap in His Majesty's face? Moreover, His Majesty is worried about the snowstorm, how can he care about such trivial matters? Even if you are the Ti Ling of the Tianshi Department, it is better not to offend the emperor!"

Zhu Xiaobiao, who was standing by, always felt that these words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

Not sure, let me listen again.

Xie Chengze's words made sense, and Guo Tianheng could only shake his head in annoyance, "My talent... is gone just like that..."

"Guo Tiling, think positively." Xie Chengze patted his shoulder, and then changed his tone, "But this matter is not without room for maneuver..."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Guo Tianheng's eyes lit up, and hope ignited in his heart again, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Xie Chengze said meaningfully, "After all, the Ministry of Industry was not kind in the first place. It just so happens that Gu Lao owed me a favor before. I can persuade Gu Lao with emotion and reason, and perhaps I can convince him to give half of the people to you."

Zhu Xiaobiao: ???

Zhu Xiaobiao realized that His Highness had said the same thing in front of Gu Lao just now!

The next sentence must be——

"Why not let that student take on two jobs, come to your Tianshi Office to work before noon, and then go to the Ministry of Works after noon, so that it can be divided into two parts and distributed fairly, how do you think?"

That's right! That's it! Exactly the same trick! Gu Lao just fell for it!

Zhu Xiaobiao sighed inwardly, His Highness is too cunning, he no longer draws cakes, but directly deceives people! And he deceives two such high-ranking officials!

"This..." Guo Tianheng hesitated. He really didn't want to miss out on the arithmetic genius. After all... others might not know, but Guo Tianheng knew that the Tianjian Division had reached a bottleneck. If they didn't absorb new talents, it might be difficult to send down the decree from heaven. His Majesty was already dissatisfied...

Moreover, he has a bunch of instrument parts on hand and needs Gu Lao's help. It is really not advisable to make things too awkward with the Ministry of Industry. If the Second Prince is willing to mediate, it would be the best.

So he asked tentatively, "Your Highness... can you give the time after noon to the Tianjian Division? As you know, we Tianjian Division usually work at night..."

"Well... well, I'll do my best!" Xie Chengze looked a little embarrassed, but finally nodded solemnly and pointed at Zhu Xiaobiao and said, "When I have persuaded you, I will send this confidant of mine to tell you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Guo Tianheng was overjoyed and turned to smile at Zhu Xiaobiao, "Then I'll have to trouble you, eunuch."

Zhu Xiaobiao:... "It's my duty." But I'm not your father-in-law!

After successfully tricking Guo Tianheng into giving him his pants, Xie Chengze patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Guo Ti Ling, I hope that all of you can cherish talents and not bury their talents. Train a great minister for Jian'an!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Guo Tianheng hurriedly saluted respectfully, feeling deeply moved.

The Second Prince is such a good man!

In this case, the Heavenly Supervisor owes His Majesty the Second Prince too many favors!

"This is what I should do." Xie Chengze said righteously, "Everything is for Jian'an and the people!"

After saying this, he took Zhu Xiaobiao away and rushed to the imperial study without stopping, leaving Zhu Xiaobiao waiting at the door to eavesdrop.

Zhu Xiaobiao was already numb, he knew that His Highness was going to start stealing His Majesty's "pants".

In the imperial study, Xie Chengze wandered back and forth in front of Emperor Jian, sighing from time to time and glancing at Emperor Jian who was reviewing memorials.

Emperor Jian reluctantly put down the memorial and said, "Stop shaking it. It's giving me a headache."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Emperor Jian glanced at him, "Do you want to ask for permission to go to Liaozhou?"

"No, no." Xie Chengze waved his hands quickly, then smiled bitterly, "Father, I have encountered a problem and I don't know how to solve it."

"Oh? What's the problem that's bothering you so much?" Emperor Jian suddenly became interested. "Tell me quickly so that I can be happy."

"..." Xie Chengze secretly rolled his eyes, and then continued to pretend to be embarrassed, "The Ministry of Astronomy and the Ministry of Works both took a fancy to this person and wanted to recruit him into the palace as a special case. This person is quite talented in arithmetic, and the two departments are vying for this person, and they are about to fight!"

Xie Chengze sighed and said helplessly, "What kind of status does Guo Tiling have? He is the messenger who issued the divine decree! What kind of status does Gu Lao have? He is the backbone of the entire Ministry of Industry! No matter who we give him to, we will offend the other party!"

Zhu Xiaobiao, who was guarding the door, couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this.

Didn't Your Highness already think of a solution? Why are you saying you have no other options?
