《汉书·传·匡张孔马传》
等到淳于长的事情发生之后，丞相方进、大司空何武商议，认为 按照法令，犯法的人都要以犯法时的法律论处，在时间上有明确的界限。淳于长犯大逆不道罪的时候，乃始等是他的妻子，已经犯有株连之罪，跟自己犯罪一样。
用长事发，丞相方进，大司空武议，以为： 令，犯法者各以法时律令论之，明有所讫也，长犯大逆时，虒始等见为长妻，已有当坐之罪，与身犯法无异。
After Chunyu Zhang’s crime came to light, the Prime Minister, Zhai Fangjin, and Minister of the Masses, He Wu, held a discussion, and were of the opinion that “according to the law, those who break the law should be dealt with under the law in force at the time”; and that, as far as time was concerned, the matter should be clearly defined. At the time that Chunyu Zhang committed this major crime of disrespect to the ancestral temple, Nai Shi et al were his wives, and as such were guilty of being involved, and were liable to the same punishment as he was.
