Later Life and Death
After his deposal, Cao Fang was moved to a palace in Henei (present-day Jiaozuo, Henan). When Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan usurped the throne of Cao Wei in 265 and established the Jin Dynasty, Cao Fang and other Cao Wei princes were demoted to the status of dukes. He died in 274 and was posthumously granted the title of "Duke Li of Shaoling", with a funeral befitting that of a duke instead of an emperor. He did not have any known descendants.
