There was only one table in the huge state banquet hall, and there were only Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing on the table, with a few attendants standing beside it. When Lin Yuan saw Emperor Meiji walk in, he stood up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Mr. The scale of the banquet is relatively small, please don't be offended."

Emperor Meiji smiled and sat on the edge of the table without saying anything. At this time, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I have prepared three styles of dishes for you, one is the traditional style of your country, and the other is There is a traditional Chinese style, and there is also a Western style, I don’t know which one Mr. Emperor likes more?”

Emperor Meiji smiled and said: "It's up to the guest, the traditional Chinese style is fine." After speaking, he thought in his heart: "Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, you are so polite to me, and you also arranged three flavors of dishes for me to choose , I simply want to please me and let me order the Japanese people to give up resistance, how can I not know?"

After hearing what Emperor Meiji said, Lin Yuan turned back to the attendant and said, "Order the kitchen to cook traditional Chinese dishes." The attendant agreed and walked out, and soon came up with four covered plates. The waiter put the plate on the table, and then stepped aside, at this moment Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The dishes are all served, we can eat."

Emperor Meiji was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself: "What? The 'state banquet' that Lin Yuan was talking about only had four things? I don't know what they are?"

Shen Wanqing stood up and said with a smile: "According to the Chinese custom, the hostess should introduce the dishes to the guests." After she finished speaking, she opened the first plate. Emperor Meiji looked over and saw that it was full of white rice , Shen Wanqing opened the second plate again, and saw that inside was a plate of cold dishes mixed with cucumbers. There were two plates behind, one containing cabbage stewed tofu, and the other containing potatoes and braised pork. Emperor Meiji's eyes changed, and he thought: "Is this the dish for the state banquet? It's too shabby."

Lin Yuan saw what Emperor Meiji meant, and said with a smile: "Mr. Emperor, don't blame the shabby food. These things are the most common food in our Chinese people's homes. I heard that you share weal and woe with the soldiers. I eat the same food. It is also the same as that of the common people, in the next three years, I hope that the common people of your country can also eat this kind of food."

Emperor Meiji's face changed, and then he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Let's eat first." After speaking, he picked up the bowl to serve the rice, and Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "How can the guests serve the rice by themselves? "After taking the bowl and filling it with rice for Emperor Meiji, Lin Yuan took this opportunity and said with a smile: "Mr. Emperor, please cooperate with me."

Emperor Meiji knowingly asked: "How does Mr. Lin Yuan want me to cooperate with you?"

Lin Yuan said: "In Japan, there are still some people who are resisting us. They have caused us a lot of trouble, so I hope you can issue an edict ordering them to stop their resistance."

Emperor Meiji smiled and said, "I would like to issue this edict, but they won't believe it."

Lin Yuan didn't continue to ask why they wouldn't believe it, but changed his mind and said: "Emperor Meiji obviously doesn't want to cooperate with me, and now he just wants to perfuse me." So Lin Yuan said: "Mr. Emperor, we are all smart people. You don’t need to go around in circles, from the first time I saw you, I could see that you don’t want to cooperate with me at all, you are harming the Japanese people by doing this!”

Emperor Meiji smiled and said: "Since Shuai Lin has made it clear, I will not hide anything anymore. I can tell you clearly: If I wanted to issue this edict, I would have already issued it. Why wait until now?" ?”

Lin Yuan's face darkened, and Emperor Meiji laughed loudly: "Mr. Lin Yuan still invites me to dinner? Are you going to send me to a prisoner-of-war camp?"

Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "It seems that I really want to take him to visit the No. [-] project." Lin Yuan made up his mind and smiled, and said, "Mr. Tianhuang is a distinguished guest, how can I send you to a prisoner-of-war camp , I must treat you well, let’s eat first, after the meal, you should rest well, and I will take you to visit around after the rest.”

Emperor Meiji saw that Lin Yuan was so gentle and could not be tough anymore, so he started to eat, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Let me tell you about the current situation in Japan, you may not know it. The first is the situation in Kyoto, After you left the Emperor's command post, General Kazuki Kiyoka ordered the defenders of Kyoto to surrender, and Mr. Yamagata Aritomo was inspecting a military camp at this time, he was unwilling to surrender, so he committed suicide."

"After Kyoto announced its surrender, Tokyo Garrison Commander Tian Haixiong also announced his surrender. The Japanese army across the country basically gave up resistance, but some Japanese troops continued to resist us among the common people. This is the current situation in Japan. Internationally : The United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and other countries issued a statement, of course, it is a cliché to oppose our aggression; France, Ethiopia and other countries issued a statement: Support our country."

While eating, Lin Yuan told the Emperor what had happened recently, and the Emperor agreed with a "hmmm" and it was not too long before the three of them finished their meal. Lin Yuan asked someone to send the Emperor to rest. Once the Emperor left, an agent Then he walked in and said to Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing: "Report to Shuai Lin and Director Shen that the interrogation of Yuheng Ito didn't yield any results. Yuheng Ito didn't say a word, but the interrogation of that female bodyguard was still a bit of a problem." It's been relatively smooth."

"We invited No. 36, oh, no, Miss Lin Qing. She was invited from the prisoner-of-war camp. She worked as the female bodyguard herself. Coincidentally, the female bodyguard was No. 37, and she had a good relationship with Miss Lin Qing. So she said a lot of things, but unfortunately they were all trivial things, nothing of value."

Lin Yuan asked: "What about the unsolved case in August? Did you know about it on the 37th?"

The agent replied: "I don't know. When we were operating at the Yasukuni Shrine, No. 37 was still in Kyoto, so we didn't know about that at all."

Lin Yuan then asked: "What about Japan's No. [-] plan?"

The agent shook his head lightly. Lin Yuan was right when he thought about it. No. 37 was just a bodyguard. How could he know such a secret? To solve all these mysteries, it seems that the only way to use Project Zero is to destroy the emperor's will to resist.

At this moment, the agent said: "Shuai Lin, when the 37th was telling us about the Emperor, we discovered a detail that may be useful to you. We recorded what she said."

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "What details? Play it to me right away." The agent took out a small tape recorder, then pressed the play button, and a soft voice came out of the tape recorder.
