In the middle and late Three Kingdoms, not long after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi took the world of the Han Dynasty and chose to be called emperor. Cao Cao had been powerful enough to claim the title of emperor before this, but he did not choose to take this step. Why did Cao Pi do what his father did not dare to do after succeeding to the throne? Is it because Cao Pi's ambitions are too big? In fact, this is only one aspect.
Cao Pi's ambition is something that everyone knows, but this is not the most important reason why he is called emperor. If he did not have the support of his own men, no matter how ambitious Cao Pi was, he would not have been able to directly oust Emperor Xian of Han from the throne. What really pushed Cao Pi to the throne was the major forces under him, and they were also an important factor.

In Cao Cao's later years, the personnel of the court were cleaned up, but all those who considered themselves to be Han subjects and supported the Han Dynasty were basically killed by Cao Cao. Xun Yu was originally one of Cao Cao's most meritorious strategists, but he made it clear that he followed Cao Cao to restore the Han Dynasty, which also made Cao Cao very dissatisfied, and finally he was snubbed and ended up in a depressed end.
The remaining ministers were all in favor of Cao Wei, and even if Cao Cao claimed to be emperor, they had no opinion. Therefore, when Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, the obstacles had been cleared. Why did Cao Pi's men push him to be emperor? This is because the forces under Cao Pi all hope that he can become emperor. Why? In fact, the major forces are also thinking about themselves.
You must know that they all followed Cao Wei, and once Cao Wei collapsed, these forces would also fall. If these forces do not want to follow Cao Wei's downfall and must push Cao Wei to an orthodox position, then the most legitimate reason is to let Cao Pi ascend the throne and create a new dynasty. In this way, they will not only not collapse, but also become the heroes of the founding of the country.
Therefore, after Cao Pi came to power, all major forces began to promote this matter, and it just so happened that Cao Pi also had the idea of being called emperor, and the two sides hit it off immediately, and finally reached such an end. For Cao Pi himself, calling himself emperor was not a bad thing, in addition to being scolded by other forces, there would be no other harm, but the benefits he would get were more.
Therefore, Cao Pi's claim to the throne is actually the result of a combination of two reasons, but in my personal opinion, the promotion of various forces is more important than Cao Pi's own ambitions. Therefore, regardless of whether Cao Pi has ambitions or not, the result of the final title of emperor will not change, even if he chooses like Cao Cao
