Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, was named heir apparent by the emperor. After Cao Cao died in 220, his son seized power and forced the last Han emperor to abdicate the throne. Cao Pi then proclaimed himself emperor of a new state, Wei. The jianwen emperor is most famous for being the last emperor of the Han dynasty.
