Born in the Qi'er Beggars, Boyan was a general under Emperor Wuzong as a teenager and fought against Haidu in the northwest. After Emperor Wuzong ascended to the throne, Boyan was heavily used, not only holding such an important position as Shangshu Pingzhang's political affairs, but also leading the right guard Azov to command the envoy Sidaru Huachi and hold military power, so after Emperor Renzong came to power, he was still able to retain his position and avoid The rectification of Emperor Renzong.

After that, Yan Tiemu'er supported Emperor Wenzong, and Boyan protected Emperor Wenzong to arrive in Dadu, but was suppressed by Yan Timur, and although he later became an envoy to Taifu Jiahui, they were all positions of high status but limited real power. At this time, Boyan can be said to have the most prestige among Emperor Wuzong's old courtiers, and at the same time, under the suppression of Yan Timur, Emperor Shun saw this and directly promoted Boyan to the right chancellor of Zhongshu Province and crowned the King of Qin.
In the system of the Yuan Dynasty, the Right Chancellor of Zhongshu Province was the supreme leader of the administrative system, and Boyan's status - zizi increased so much, of course, he knew what he had to do. As soon as Yan Tiemu'er died, Bo Yan immediately told Yan Timur'er's son, Tang Qishi, the imperial master, that he intended to rebel, and that the conspirators were Tang Qishi's brother and Emperor Wenzong's righteous son, Da lahai. Tang Qishi was arrested at home, and in order to save his life, He Ran to the palace and asked to meet the empress. Bo Yan led the people to the palace, and said to Emperor Shun: "If there are brothers who plot against each other, the sisters can hide the reason for the fugitives!" "I plan to take the queen away as well." The empress hid The Sea of Answers under her royal robe and begged Emperor Shun for forgiveness.
Emperor Shun had originally decided this family affair for the sake of An Yan Timur's family, and he did not take the empress to heart at all, and said lightly: "Your brother wants to harm me, where can I save you!" So Yan Timur's power was swept away.
Boyan was born in the Qi'er Begbu, a tribe that once fought against Temujin, genghis Khan, and was captured and enslaved among the Mongols after defeat, so Boyan was once a domestic slave of the King's family when he was young. Now that Boyan has great power in his hands, he intends to erase these disgraceful records in one stroke, so the Shangsong King is plotting to kill King Manmen. When Emperor Shun heard about this, he hurriedly sent special envoys to stop it, but Boyan did not listen at all, and forcibly ordered people to be executed, and Emperor Shun had no choice but to take him. At that time, it was said that the world only knew that there was Bo Yan, but did not know that there was a son of heaven.

Emperor Shun's use of Boyan was intended to use his power to consolidate his position, but he did not expect it to evolve into an out-of-control situation. Bo Yan deceived Emperor Shun at a young age and repeatedly acted arbitrarily. In the years of his appearance, the lion opened his mouth to amass wealth, and the country's income was difficult, so he indiscriminately issued paper money. Originally, the Yuan Dynasty implemented paper money, and inflation has been relatively serious, but for a period of time from Emperor Taiding to Emperor Wenzong, the state controlled the issuance of paper money relatively strictly, and the economy was still considered stable. Boyan blindly issued more paper money, and suddenly the civil prices surged, and the southern uprisings continued.
At that time, Bo Yan invited a Xifan master named Qi, and told him that Bo Yan would die at the hands of the Nan people in the future. Boyan then continued to politically exclude han and southerners, and announced the cessation of the imperial examination to prevent the Han and Southerners from entering the bureaucratic system through the imperial examination. Now that there was chaos in the south, Bo Yan actually proposed to kill the five Han chinese surnamed Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, and Liu in the world. Of course, this absurd idea could not be implemented, but Emperor Shun also realized that the time had come to replace Bo Yan with his horse.
