樸賽因不花，字德中，肅良合台人。 Pusaiyin Buhua, whose style name was Dezhong, was from the Sulianghetai people.

至正二十四年，甘肅行省以孛羅帖木兒矯弒皇后、皇孫，遣人白事，平章政事也速答兒即欲署諭眾榜，樸賽因不花持不可曰：「此大事，何得輕信，況非符驗公文。」 In 1364 the Gansu Branch Secretariat reported that Bolu Temur had falsely murdered the empress and the imperial grandson and sent someone to inform the court. Chief Councillor Yesudar immediately wished to sign a proclamation to the people. Pusaiyin Buhua objected, saying, "This is a grave matter—how can it be lightly believed, especially when there is no verified official document."

會皇太子撫軍冀寧，承製拜樸賽因不花翰林學士承旨，遷集賢大學士，又為宣政院使，遂拜中書平章政事。 When the crown prince pacified the army in Jining, Pusaiyin Buhua was appointed by imperial order Hanlin academician-in-ordinary, transferred to grand academician of the Hall of Gathered Worthies, made commissioner of the Office of Buddhist and Tibetan Affairs, and finally appointed chief councillor of the Central Secretariat.

大明兵逼京師，詔樸賽因不花以兵守順承門，其所領兵僅數百羸卒而已。 When Ming forces pressed the capital, Pusaiyin Buhua was ordered to hold Shuncheng Gate with troops—only several hundred weak and weary soldiers.
