Chapitre 92: This World and That World I

While there are potential advantages to dividing lands and wealth, it is essential to learn from history and carefully weigh the potential disadvantages.

One of the main risks associated with dividing power and wealth is the fragmentation of power and governance. 

When multiple individuals or branches hold authority, it can lead to inefficiencies and conflicting interests. 

This can result in a lack of centralized decision-making, hindering the empire's ability to respond effectively to external threats and govern its territories. 

The aftermath of Genghis Khan's and Charlemagne's deaths serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating the challenges that can arise from fragmented power.

Furthermore, dividing power within a ruling family can give rise to intra-family rivalries and power struggles. 

Competition between different branches of the family may lead to power imbalances, betrayals, and even open conflict.
