 * WordPress does that redirect for you automatically.

 * Hi,
    but I need to save my SEO power. How can I use redirect 301 to change permalink
   structure without loosing SEO? Thank you

 * WordPress does the 301 redirect from `/?p=123` for you – there’s nothing else
   for that particular situation you need to do.
