booting flashed esp01 (1 MB)

I flashed Tasmota 9.3 , and with NO LOAD on GPIO 0 ; the booting is OK.
Since I want to drive a relay on GPIO 0 , I connected NPN with 1k to GPIO 0 . The ESP01 failed to boot
Removing the NPN it boots with no problem.
The funny thing is; if I connect the NPN AFTER booting the relay WORKS !!!!!!!

The wiring is very simple (ESP01 VCC 3.3, Ground, CH connected to VCC , TX,RX,Reset are floating)

Any help will be appreciated

io 0 is a boot configuration pin and must be HIGH for normal boot. with io 0 LOW the esp8266 goes into flashing mode.
