After getting Prince Dai and Prince Jing to fight each other, Zhao Yao no longer paid attention to matters in the capital. He was very busy every day, so he had no leisure time to focus on affairs outside the Swamp Prefecture.
He originally planned to start work after the Lantern Festival, but past the seventh day, there was nothing much to do. In the capital before, every year during the New Year was the busiest time, and only after the Lantern Festival would things calm down. Now, in the Swamp Prefecture, Zhao Yao didn't need to go out to pay New Year's greetings or participate in various palace activities.
As the highest authority of the Swamp Prefecture, Prince Han didn't need to go out and pay New Year visits; instead, others came to pay respects to him. However, the previous officials and local gentry of the Swamp Prefecture had been killed by him, leaving only ordinary people, who were not qualified to meet Zhao Yao.
