Why didn't Lv Buwei abolish Ying Zheng as emperor himself?

Lv Buwei was once the national phase of Qin, and he had the right to be under one person and above ten thousand people. Many people think that since Lv Buwei is so talented, why didn't he abolish Ying Zheng and become emperor himself? There are many reasons for this.

First of all, because Lv Buwei is a businessman, although he has made great achievements in business, he is different from politics, so he is a business wizard, but he is not a good politician, and he is not as good as Ying Zheng in strategy and mind. During the Qin Dynasty, imperial power was highly concentrated, and the people also recognized this system. Lv Buwei is just a civilian, so he is not qualified to usurp the throne. As a businessman, what he wants is how to make more money, not how to master more power.

Secondly, although he is the prime minister of Qin, his position is still relatively low. At that time, the Qin dynasty implemented the policy of emphasizing agriculture and restraining business, and the status of businessmen was the lowest. No matter what he does, he always feels inferior. How dare he usurp the throne? It is good enough that people give him a country, and it is good enough to make money. What can you expect?

Finally, because he didn't want to rebel, he didn't think much at ordinary times. Maybe he took Ying Zheng as his own son. Lv Buwei and Ying Zheng's mother are having an affair, so in order to maintain their relationship and not be discovered by Ying Zheng, they can only be nice to him.

Finally, Lv Buwei was afraid that Ying Zheng would find out about the relationship between him and his mother, so he was forced to flee. As a result, Lao Ai rebelled, Lv Buwei was implicated, and Lv Buwei died.
