Years: 220 - 220
December
Cao Pi makes his move for the imperial throne in the winter of 220, strongly suggesting to Emperor Xian that he should yield the throne.
Emperor Xian does so, and Cao Pi formally declines three times (a model that will be followed by future usurpers in Chinese history), and then finally accepts, ending the Han Dynasty and starting a new Wei Dynasty.
The former Emperor Xian is created the Duke of Shanyang.
Cao Pi posthumously honors his grandfather Cao Song and father Cao Cao as emperors, and his mother Princess Dowager Bian as empress dowager.
He also moves the imperial capital from Xu (in modern Xuchang, Henan) to Luoyang.
