Why didn't Cao Cao dare to proclaim himself emperor? Why do some people say it's just a dream?

Cao Cao dreamed that a dragon was flying in the sky and a python was swimming in the water, which was later interpreted by fortune tellers as? The dragon is still there, but it can't be a python, can it? . Therefore, Cao Caocai did not choose to be emperor, but was king for life, a courtier of the Han Dynasty. Cao Wei Group led by Cao Cao was the most powerful of the three countries at that time. However, the powerful Cao Cao did not claim to be the emperor, which was caused by one of his dreams. He did not claim to be the emperor all his life.

At that time, Cao Cao woke up from his dream and thought his dream was too strange, so the superstitious Cao Cao found a fortune teller to interpret it. Cao Cao said that he dreamed that there was a dragon flying in the sky and a python lurking under the water. This dream deeply troubled Cao Cao, and I hope the fortune teller can give an explanation.

After hearing Cao Cao's description, the fortune teller said eight words in fear? The dragon is still there, but it can't be a python, can it? . Fortune tellers are scared because their words may offend Cao Cao. ? The dragon is still there, but it can't be a python, can it? These eight words mean that if the dragon in the sky is still there, then the python at the bottom of the water can't get out. This implies that Cao Cao, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is still there, and the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty are still there. Cao dared not rashly call himself emperor. After hearing this, Cao Cao did not blame the fortune teller, but thought that the fortune teller was very accurate. Because what did Cao Cao rely on? Holding the emperor as a minister? If we use this tactic to capture people's hearts, if we rashly claim the title of emperor now, it will inevitably cause turmoil among people under our command, which will do great damage to the strength of Cao Wei Group, so Cao Cao also thinks that we cannot rashly claim the title of emperor.

In the end, history also proved that Cao Cao's choice was right. Was Cao Cao playing at that time? Help Han? If you go back on your word, it will inevitably cause many people's dissatisfaction. In addition, Cao Cao was also faced with the attack of Sun Quan and Liu Bei. It is really not the best policy to declare yourself before solving the threat of Shu Han and Dongwu.
