That day, Yang Tiexin was handling official affairs.
Just then, Yang Wenzhu arrived.
"Ancestor, you're here!"
Yang Tiexin spoke respectfully upon seeing Yang Wenzhu.
Yang Wenzhu merely waved his hand casually and said,

But there's one thing: don't destroy them outright.
After all, if you want that position, don't even think of directly wiping out the Song Dynasty.
