Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VIII, § 2. Root system of a split semi-simple Lie algebra

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a semi-simple Lie algebra, h\mathfrak{h} a Cartan subalgebra of g\mathfrak{g}, and ρ\rho a finite dimensional injective representation of g\mathfrak{g} such that ρ(h)\rho (\mathfrak{h}) is diagonalizable. Then adgx_{\mathfrak{g}}x is diagonalizable for all x∈hx\in \mathfrak{h} (Chap. VII, §2, no. 1, Example 2), so h\mathfrak{h} is splitting.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
