Jochi Lives

Jochi was the firstborn son of Genghis Khan, however there was controversy regarding succession. Because of his mother's kidnapping near his birth, there was a question on his paternity, which would spell trouble for his descendants. He wouldn't have to worry about the full brunt of this because Jochi died months before Genghis. But what if he didn't? What if he outlived his father and was able to not worry about dying from natural causes for another 20 years? How might this impact the Mongol Empire and the reign of his brother Ogedei?
