| Summary:
High-redshift radio(-loud) galaxies (H$z$RGs) are massive galaxies with
powerful radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and serve as beacons for
protocluster identification. However, the interplay between H$z$RGs and the
large-scale environment remains unclear. To understand the connection between
H$z$RGs and the surrounding obscured star formation, we investigated the
overdensity and spatial distribution of submillimeter-bright galaxies (SMGs) in
the field of 4C,23.56, a well-known H$z$RG at $z=2.48$. We used SCUBA-2 data
($sigma,{sim},0.6$,mJy) to estimate the $850,{rm mu m}$ source number
counts and examine the radial and azimuthal overdensities of the $850,{rm mu
m}$ sources in the vicinity of the H$z$RG. The angular distribution of SMGs is
inhomogeneous around the H$z$RG 4C,23.56, with fewer sources oriented along
the radio jet. We also find a significant overdensity of bright SMGs (${rm
S}_{850rm,mu m}geq5,$mJy). Faint and bright SMGs exhibit different spatial
distributions. The former are concentrated in the core region, while the latter
prefer the outskirts of the H$z$RG field. High-resolution observations show
that the seven brightest SMGs in our sample are intrinsically bright,
suggesting that the overdensity of bright SMGs is less likely due to the source
multiplicity.
