The new President's words immediately eased the atmosphere.
With a teasing intent, Musheng also curved his lips upward, "Commander-in-Chief, you're joking."
He was now the nation's future ruler; it was not unreasonable for the elder statesman to confide in him such a secret matter.
"Good, I knew from the start that you were no simple character wherever you might be," Si Renhao patted Musheng's shoulder, a look of approval on his face, "The matter I spoke of earlier, I believe Minister Shen must have also mentioned it to you?"
He was referring to the military exercise.
Musheng nodded, "But Commander-in-Chief, I still don't quite understand what you mean by having me attend this military drill."
"What's there to understand? You can't just disregard the contributions you've made to the country. Your current status is inconvenient, so just attend as a disciple. The old man's intention is to give you the temporary title of minister; after the transition of power, we can revoke it."
