So... what would have happened if he hadn't died on the way to China?
Firstly: Stop with the AH threads. They're going to be modnuked if too many of them pop up.
Secondly: He died on the way to Hungary.
Thirdly: Nothing. It wasn't the incompetence of his son that kept them out of Europe, it was the new tactics they were being faced with by the Europeans, along with the weakened army from previous campaigns.

Hungary?
Where did that come from?
And since there doesn't appear to be any rule against the AH threads, and since they all seem to have a specific purpose...

On August 18, 1227, during his last campaign with the Tangut Empire, Genghis Khan died. The reason for his death is uncertain. Many assume he fell off his horse, due to old age and physical fatigue; some contemporary observers cited prophecies from his opponents. The Galician-Volhynian Chronicle alleges he was killed by the Tanguts. There are persistent folktales that a Tangut princess, to avenge her people and prevent her rape, castrated him with a knife hidden inside her and that he never recovered.

He succeeded his father, Yekusai, as chieftain of a Mongol tribe and then fought to become ruler of a Mongol confederacy. After subjugating many tribes of Mongolia and establishing his capital at Karakorum, Temujin held (1206) a great meeting, the khuriltai, at which he accepted leadership of the Mongols and assumed his title. He promulgated a code of conduct and reorganized his armies. He attacked (1213) the Jurchen-ruled Chin empire of N China and by 1215 had occupied most of its territory, including the capital, Yenching (now Beijing). From 1218 to 1224 he conquered Turkistan, Transoxania, and Afghanistan and raided Persia and E Europe to the Dnieper River. Jenghiz Khan ruled one of the greatest land empires the world has ever known. He died while campaigning against the Jurchen, and his vast domains were divided among his sons and grandsons. His wars were marked by ruthless carnage, but Jenghiz Khan was a brilliant ruler and military leader. Timur Timur (tĭmr`) or Tamerlane (tăm`ərlān), c.
