The Taiyin Star moves east, and Hedong is experiencing a great drought.
Observing the stars to detect calamities is a common practice of the Qingzhou School.
Lv Xia, being the direct disciple of Mr. Yuan Ming, the founder of the Qingzhou School, and a fellow disciple of Prime Minister Zheng Shidao, presented the news, to which even the emperor would give some credence, immediately summoning the two Prime Ministers and the Astronomical Official.
However, after hearing this news, the Secretary of the Imperial Secretariat Wang Maozhao took out a scroll from his sleeve: "This morning, the former Winter Official Spirit Platform Lang Lin Xujiji also submitted a report, stating the Taiyin's eastward shift and Hedong's drought——"
...
"So how come the officials at the Observatory didn't notice the Taiyin Star's eastward movement?" How could she not believe it?
Lv Xia observed it, Lin Xujiji observed it, yet the Observatory, part of the Central Meteorological Bureau, couldn't observe it?
