《三国志·魏书·和常杨杜赵裴传》
刚好赵俨生病没有能赴任，又重新担任尚书，出京监管豫州的各项军事事务，转任大司马军师，又入京担任大司农。
会疾，不行，复为尚书，出监豫州诸军事，转大司马军师，入为大司农。
However, Zhao Yan was not able to take up his post due to illness, but was instead reappointed as Minister of State. He was sent out of the capital to supervise military affairs in Yuzhou, was made Advisor to the Great Marshal, and was called back to the capital to serve as Minister of Agriculture.
