Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Imperial deposition at Chongde front hall

The Zizhi tongjian reports that Dong Zhuo assembled officials at Chongde front hall and coerced the empress dowager into formally deposing the young emperor.

Limits: Later Northern Song chronicle by Sima Guang; pinned Wikisource revision 2594134. The ninth-month heading is at line 98. Nearby speeches oppose the deposition and dispute its justification; the quoted imperial accusations are not treated as established misconduct. No independent contradictory account is supplied.
